Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Fri Nov 9, 2018 1:00 pm

The Pittsburgh Steelers and Carolina Panthers set an NFL record with three touchdowns in 23 seconds during the first quarter of Thursday night\'s game.

The previous record for three touchdowns was 26 seconds by the New England Patriots and Oakland Raiders in 2008.

The Panthers scored on a 20-yard touchdown pass from Cam Newton to Christian McCaffrey at the 10:29 mark.

On Pittsburgh\'s first play, Ben Roethlisberger connected with JuJu Smith-Schuster for a 75-yard touchdown that took just 11 seconds.

And on Carolina\'s next play from scrimmage, Newton was intercepted by Vince Williams, who returned the pick 17 yards for a touchdown with 10:05 left in the first quarter.
