DeMarcus Lawrence had two total touchdowns during his 11-year career with the Dallas Cowboys. It took him just eight games to achieve that same feat with the Seattle Seahawks.
Lawrence scored twice in the first quarter-plus of the Seahawks’ Week 10 game against the Arizona Cardinals. The scores were eerily similar.
On the first, second-year linebacker Tyrice Knight was able to get pressure on Jacoby Brissett and knock the ball out of his hands. Lawrence was able to scoop up the ball and run into the end-zone uncontested..

Feeling deja vu? Lawrence must have been given the symmetry between the two scores.
Lawrence’s second scoop-and-score was also historic, as he tied the NFL record for most non-offensive touchdowns in a game. Minnesota Vikings cornerback Isaiah Rodgers was previously the most recent player to achieve that feat, doing so in the Vikings’ 48-10 Week 3 win over the Cincinnati Bengals earlier in the season.
