One of the strangest streaks in NFL history came to an end on Sunday, as New England Patriots wide receiver Jakobi Meyers finally found the end zone.

Meyers had the first touchdown catch of his career during New England’s blowout win over the Cleveland Browns. He was swarmed by several of his teammates, many of whom sprinted over from the sideline to celebrate with Meyers.

One Patriots reporter shared a great photo of the Patriots' offensive bench area after Meyers scored. It was completely empty.

Meyers has been a regular contributor for the Patriots over the past three seasons. No player in NFL history has ever had more receiving yards before catching his first touchdown pass.

Most receiving yards before receiving TD — #NFL history

Jakobi Meyers — 1,570 (before TD)
Gerald Riggs — 1,516
Eric Bieniemy — 1,223#Patriots

One announcer was roasted last week after he inexplicably said Meyers was rookie Mac Jones’ favorite red zone target. Maybe that was the boost Meyers needed.
