Plaxico Burress Touchdown: Receiver Scores In Jets' Win Over Cowboys (VIDEO)

Plaxico Scores First TD As Jet

Plaxico Burress delivered when the Jets needed him most and helped spark their incredible comeback win over the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday night.

Early in the fourth quarter with the Jets down 24-10, quarterback Mark Sanchez threw a perfect 26-yard pass to Burress' back shoulder near the left pylon. With Dallas' Bryan McCann defending him, Burress turned his back to the end zone, caught the ball and dove across the goal line for the touchdown.

Burress immediately gave the ball to his son in the stands and told Jenny Vrentas of The Star-Ledger that he told his wife before the game that he would find the end zone.

"I told my wife before I left the house, ‘When I do score a touchdown, I’m going to give the ball to my son.' It was a great moment for him," he said.
