Green Bay Packers running back Patrick Taylor scored his first career touchdown on Sunday against the Detroit Lions at Ford Field.
Taylor, now in his second season, plunged in from 1-yard out to bring the Packers to within two points of the Lions in the fourth quarter. The Packers failed on the two-point conversion, making the score 24-22.
Taylor has rushed 10 times for 49 yards in the contest.
On the score, Taylor followed the blocks of Dominique Dafney and Equanimeous St. Brown off the right side to find the end zone.
The Packers signed Taylor as an undrafted free agent out of Memphis in 2020. He missed his entire rookie season while recovering from a foot injury suffered during his final collegiate season.
Taylor began the season on the practice squad but was elevated to the active roster on Nov. 4 after rookie Kylin Hill suffered a season-ending injury. He is playing in his ninth career game on Sunday. He came into the contest with 10 career carries for 36 yards.
