Just two days after promotion from the practice squad to the active roster, Maurice Harris made the catch of his career.
The wide receiver palmed a 36-yard pass from quarterback Kirk Cousins for an impressive, one-handed touchdown reception on the Washington Redskins’ opening drive against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 10 action.
The catch was both Harris’ first of the season and the first touchdown of his career.
He joined Josh Doctson as the second Redskins receiver to record a touchdown on his first reception of the season. Though Doctson completed the feat with a 52-yard touchdown in the same corner of the same end zone seven weeks earlier against Oakland, Harris’ circus catch stands out as one of the most notable plays of the season.
