Chicago Bears star Cole Kmet had a big day in London on Sunday, scoring two touchdowns from tight end and filling in as an emergency long snapper.
The 25-year-old former Notre Dame player had one of the most impressive games of his career in the win over the Jaguars at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, and he certainly earned his paycheck, helping out in a supporting role.
After an early injury to long snapper Scott Daly ruled him out of the game, Kmet stepped in as a replacement player.
Incredibly, Kmet scored the first touchdown of the game, meaning that instead of celebrating, he had to step up and kick the extra point himself.
Kmet became the first long snapper in NFL history to score two touchdowns in a game, and then repeated the feat just two series later: scoring another touchdown and then throwing the ball for the PAT.

On social media, fans went wild over this rare feat, with Pat McAfee writing: “COLE KMET IS AN ABSOLUTE DAWG… A throwback… a stud… a beast… A FOOTBALL PLAYER.”
At halftime, he had four receptions for 43 yards and two touchdowns, and in the second half he added one more reception and totaled an impressive 70 yards.
It was a big day in London for the Bears, who sealed a 35-16 victory to move to 4-2 on the season, while the Jags fell to 1-5.
Quarterback Caleb Williams showed off his incredible arm in the win, throwing for 226 yards and four touchdowns.
