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