It is hard enough for any team to score a pair of touchdowns in 18 seconds, let alone one player on defense.
The Carolina Panthers’ Jeremy Chinn did just that Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings.
Chinn took a fumble recovery back 18 yards to give Carolina a 14-10 lead after the PAT.

Then, the DB found the end zone, again, with a 28-yard fumble recovery. After the PAT, the Panthers had a 21-10 lead over the stunned Vikings.

As NFL legend Gil Brandt points out, Chinn made history with those two plays.
Defensive touchdowns on back-to-back plays by the same player has never happened in NFL history before today. Congratulations, @ChinnJeremy2.
