With the second touchdown reception, Nabers became the youngest wide receiver in NFL history to have two touchdown receptions in a single game. Nabers is 21 years, 56 days old. Tampa Bay Buccaneers star Mike Evans initially set the mark when he was 21 years, 73 days old in 2014.
Nabers had six receptions for 66 yards and two touchdowns after the first two quarters of the game.
