Stat Of The Day

Yesterday, Jason Taylor was traded from the Miami Dolphins to the Washington Redskins. It was a move that the Redskins had to make following the season-ending injury to former Georgia Bulldog Phillip Daniels.
Taylor is one of the best defensive ends in the NFL (might also be the best dancer, but I am not going there).
Not only does Taylor have 117 career sacks which makes his 14th all-time on the NFL list, but he also has recovered 5 fumbles for touchdowns in his career.
The 5 ties him with the most ever with the former Valdosta State and Atlanta Falcon great Jessie Tuggle.
Here are the games where Tuggle got the TD…
1988 vs Rams (returned it 2 yards for the score)
1990 vs Oilers (returned it 65 yards)
1991 vs Raiders (18 yards)
1992 vs Saints (69 yards)
1998 vs 49ers (1 yard)
He also had an interception return for a touchdown against the Cardinals in 1995.
