A former Nebraska Cornhusker scored his first NFL playoff touchdown on Monday night. Wide receiver Trey Palmer scored on a 56-yard touchdown catch in Tampa Bay’s 32-9 Wild Card round victory over the Philadelphia Eagles.
For the game, Palmer had only the one 56-yard reception. He had 39 catches for 385 yards and three touchdowns on the season.
Palmer had 71 receptions for a school-record 1,043 yards and nine touchdowns in his one year at Nebraska. The receiver was taken in the sixth round, with the 191st pick overall in the 2023 NFL draft.
Tampa Bay will now head to Detroit for the Divisional Round of the NFL Playoffs. You can find social media reactions to the touchdown catch below.

Philly’s old
The reality of this play: Rookie burner Trey Palmer beat 30-year-old James Bradberry in coverage, then ran right by 31-year-old Bradley Roby and 30-year-old Kevin Byard on the way to the end zone.

Disagreeable State of Mind
Trey Palmer indeed may have awoken today in a disagreeable state of mind.
