WATCH: Jakeem Grant Sr. Blaze the Packers Defense for the Game’s First TD

Watching Jakeem Grant Sr. with the ball in his hands has been a treat.

It hasn’t always been pretty, but it’s been fun more often than not.

And it doesn’t get more fun than scoring the first touchdown in a Bears-Packers rivalry game:

Technically, that goes down as a 46-yard touchdown pass for Justin Fields. But between Grant’s moves and some downfield blocking, the Bears made something out of what could’ve been a whole lotta nothing.

Now, the Bears have a 10-0 lead on the Packers early in the second quarter. Can’t say I saw this coming. But I’m glad it’s happening. Touchdowns are fun!
