Josh Gordon shines, scores game-winning TD in XFL Week 3
Former Tennessee Titans wide receiver Josh Gordon is already making some noise in the XFL three games into the season, with his best game coming in Week 3 this past weekend.
Gordon and the Seattle Sea Dragons out-dueled Vic Beasley and the Vegas Vipers, winning 30-26. Gordon led the way for the Sea Dragons in receiving, with 118 yards and two scores on six receptions.
But Gordon was also responsible for the game-winning touchdown in the contest.
With one minute left in the fourth quarter, Seattle quarterback Ben DiNucci heaved a pass down the field that Gordon somehow came down with. He then proceeded to break free and take it to the house for a 65-yard score.
