Patriots rookie Ja'Lynn Polk catches first NFL touchdown

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- New England Patriots rookie receiver Ja'Lynn Polk caught a 5-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Jacoby Brissett with 4:56 remaining in the first quarter of their home opener against the Seattle Seahawks, and then was gifted the football as a present by veteran receiver K.J. Osborn.

After Polk caught the fastball from Brissett, Osborn pretended to wrap the football before handing it to Polk to commemorate his first career NFL touchdown.

The play gave the Patriots a 7-0 lead.
