Who Will Score First Touchdown Tonight
The Bears didn’t score their first touchdown of the 2019 season until there was one minute left in the third quarter of their second game.
Justin Fields fell to the turf, pain pulsating through his body after the helmet of a defender smashed into his rib cage. Ohio State had finally taken a lead over Clemson, thanks in large part to. How will you celebrate when we score our first touchdown.? (n/t) on 17:37 - Feb 26 with 186 views JamestownPrince: I reckon Holy could be a decent Quarterback. Chambers would be no good as a linebacker though.
David Montgomery was the first player to run it in for six, notching a goal-line carry en route to the first touchdown of his NFL career. While the moment was an important one that helped the Bears take the lead late, fans of the team can only hope that it doesn’t take that long for them to score a touchdown again this season.
With Chicago heading to Detroit to take on the Lions this Sunday, I asked you all on Twitter which Bears player you think will be the first to score a touchdown in the 2020 season.
Which #Bears player do you think will score the team’s first touchdown of the 2020 season?
My guess is Jimmy Graham. Once a red-zone situation comes up, I expect him to be heavily targeted.
— Jacob Infante (@jacobinfante24) September 9, 2020I went with free agent addition Jimmy Graham, as I felt that his value in the red zone could come in handy down the stretch.
Fellow tight end and rookie Cole Kmet was a popular choice, as well.

Kmet, was gonna go Graham but feel like I'm agreeing with you to often
— Jasper Fenix (@jasperfenix9) September 9, 2020Another rookie, wide receiver Darnell Mooney, was also an option multiple people chose for the prompt.

— CvilleBullsFan (@BullsFanCville) September 9, 2020A few of you went on the defensive side of the ball for your predictions, including WCG’s own Jeff Berckes.

— Jay A. Wood (@JayAWood) September 9, 2020A couple of the people really went outside the box with some creative answers.
The Bears will get into the redzone and Nagy will have a trick play dialed up. Trubisky will score the bears first TD on a reception. Let’s get weird https://t.co/cIhhghi1eX
— Stephen Letizia (@StephenLetizia) September 9, 2020Ima go real bold and say Lions get the ball first and go 4 and out and Reek takes the punt back for a tuddy

— Tyler (@Tylernol93) September 9, 2020Regardless of which Bears player is the first to score a touchdown this season, let’s just hope that it happens earlier than it did last year.

There’s nothing like getting your Super Bowl wagering Sunday off to profitable start, and a surefire way to do just that is hitting on the game’s first touchdown scorer.
Among the myriad of proposition bets, it remains one of the most popular. So with a winning beginning in mind, here are five candidates to tally the first TD Sunday in Tampa.
We start with two worthwhile favorites, throw in two midrange value plays and finish with a longer shot worth taking.
Best bets for the first Super Bowl touchdown
Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated Wednesday at 6:30 p.m. ET.
Tyreek Hill (+600)
Who Will Score First Touchdown Tonight
This next-level speed demon tied for third in the league with 17 total touchdowns during the regular season, including a career-high-matching three in the Kansas City Chiefs’ 27-24 Week 12 win in Tampa.
In 50 regular and postseason games since the start of the 2018 season (i.e. the Patrick Mahomes starting era), Hill has found his way into the end zone a whopping 41 times. This includes four rushing scores and a punt-return TD, on 305 total touches, for an average of a TD every 7.4 touches.
Somehow, Hill hasn’t scored on 20 total offensive touches so far this postseason, but expect that to end Sunday. And it could come early – first-TD-of-the-game early.
Leonard Fournette (+1200)
This ballyhooed late-preseason addition only scored three times in his first 10 games with the Bucs but has tallied six TDs in his last six contests, including a score (two rushing, one receiving) in each of the team’s three playoff games so far.
With Ronald Jones’ late-season injury issues, Fournette has assumed the lead role in the Bucs’ backfield and has totaled a team-leading 62 touches this postseason (for 313 total yards) with at least 17 in each game.

Darrel Williams (+1600)
With rookie Clyde Edwards-Helaire and veteran Le’Veon Bell each playing in one playoff game so far due to injuries, Williams has stepped in productively as the Chiefs’ lead running back with 155 total yards and a TD on 31 touches this postseason.
Williams could see a lead workload once again on Super Sunday as CEH was ineffective (7 yards on seven touches) in the AFC title game coming off a high-ankle sprain. Bell is no sure bet to even be active Sunday as he deals with a knee issue.
So, in other words, we could have a second-straight Super Bowl with an unheralded K.C. back with the last name of Williams productively sliding under the radar while the opposing defense focuses its attention on the Chiefs’ top offensive weapons.
Cameron Brate (+3000)
Fellow Bucs tight end Rob Gronkowski has much better odds (+1800) to score the first TD, but it’s been Brate who has had the far-more-productive postseason so far as the team’s third-leading pass-catcher with 11 receptions for 149 yards and a TD to Gronk’s 2-43-0 stat line on seven targets.
Brate owns the 11th-best odds (+250) to score a TD Sunday, making his +3000 odds to score the first touchdown (tied for 16th lowest) a bona fide value.
Tom Brady (+3300)
Of Brady’s 32 career rushing TDs, including four this season and seven in the postseason, surprisingly none have come in his nine previous Super Bowls.
So why not shoot for a lucrative long shot payout by banking on the GOAT to kick off his 10th Big Game by checking off one of the last few things he has yet to accomplish?
