Chiefs left tackle Eric Fisher cherishes first-ever professional touchdown
Kansas City Chiefs LT Eric Fisher caught his first career touchdown pass in Week 3 against the Baltimore Ravens. He revealed it was the first time he’d been in the endzone since back in high school. “Last time I was in the endzone, so we ran the veer in high school,” Fisher told reporters on Wednesday. “I was an outside linebacker for my sophomore, junior year, but we had a tight end package on the goal line, just kind of like throw it up to me in the corner of the endzone. So the junior year was probably the last before that freshman year when I played quarterback, got a couple of touchdowns. But yeah, I haven’t been in the endzone so much.” It was a memorable moment for the Chiefs’ offensive lineman, but he might not actually be able to remember too much of it, at least per his reaction on the sideline. The NFL’s latest episode of Mic’d up caught Fisher’s reaction after he caught the touchdown that would ice the game in Baltimore. It was a pretty classic moment from Fisher. With 8:19 remaining in the fourth quarter, Fisher reported as an eligible receiver on a first-and-goal at the Baltimore 2-yard line – something NFL teams will sometimes do to give the defense an extra receiver to worry about. The Chiefs added another wrinkle to the ruse, sending in Nick Allegretti as an extra blocker – telegraphing to the Ravens that a running play was likely.
