In an National Football League rarity, Tennessee Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota completed a six-yard touchdown pass to himself during the third quarter of an AFC wild-card playoff game against the Kansas City Chiefs on Saturday afternoon. Somehow, Mariota threw a pass, had it tipped, and caught it for a touchdown. Mariota caught HIS OWN PASS and scored for the Titans first touchdown.

That would be a six-yard completion from Mariota to Mariota for six points.

The Titans were able to attempt a field goal, and they finally got on the board with two minutes left in the first half to cut the Chiefs' lead to 14-3.

There's a good chance that Marcus Mariota is going to remember his first career playoff touchdown pass for the rest of his life and that's mainly because he threw it to himself. If you had the stones to start Mariota in your DFS lineups, he just scored both a passing touchdown and a receiving touchdown.
