Packers rookie WR Jayden Reed scores first NFL touchdown

The first career touchdown for Green Bay Packers rookie receiver Jayden Reed arrived Sunday at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta.

Reed, moving from left to right pre-snap, caught a pop pass from quarterback Jordan Love and raced into the end zone behind blocks from Zach Tom, Luke Musgrave, Samori Toure and Patrick Taylor. The 9-yard touchdown gave the Packers a 7-3 lead over the Falcons in the second quarter of Week 2.
