Aaron Donald came agonizingly close to crossing a milestone that has eluded him throughout his decorated NFL career: scoring his first career touchdown. According to Yahoo Sports, Donald scooped up a loose fumble during the game and appeared to have a clear route to the end zone, only to mishandle the ball in the process.
The botched attempt drew an amused reaction from Browns star Myles Garrett, who was seen laughing at the mix-up, per Yahoo Sports. The moment quickly became a talking point given Donald's standing as one of the most dominant defensive players of his generation, a reputation built almost entirely on stopping offenses rather than scoring against them.
Despite the flub, the play underscored Donald's rare athleticism for a defensive tackle, even if the long-awaited touchdown remains out of reach for now.
