Eleven seasons, going on a 12th. Three ACL tears, surgeries, unprecedented recoveries. A broken arm; a Super Bowl played in a cast.
And finally, Carolina Panthers linebacker Thomas Davis reached the the end zone.
“Man, it feels good. It’s a great feeling,” he said, perspiring and grinning widely at his locker after the game. “Something that’s eluded me for 12 years, but now I’m excited to say that I scored my first touchdown.”
The play set the tone for Carolina’s 30-20 victory in the NFC title game rematch against the Arizona Cardinals.
That's the grin of a dude who scored his first TD after 11 years in the league: pic.
