Laviska Shenault Jr. scored his second touchdown of the season for the Jacksonville Jaguars off a pass by Mike Glennon in their Week 13 game against the Minnesota Vikings, and he has Vikings cornerback Kris Boyd to thank for it.

The play happened at the 12:33 mark of the first quarter, with the Jaguars on second and four at the Vikings’ 28 yard line. With Glennon under pressure from Minnesota, he moves to his left to look for his receivers and throws a pass that bounces off Boyd and straight into the hands of Shenault, who was in the end zone, scoring a 28-yard touchdown in stunning fashion and giving Jacksonville an early 6-0 lead.

It was the 22-year old wide receiver's second touchdown of the season and first since the Jaguars’ opening game against the Indianapolis Colts, which they won 27-20 in their only win of the season so far. Glennon, meanwhile, had his third touchdown pass this season after having two in their 27-25 loss to the Cleveland Browns in Week 12 in his first start this season.

Laviska Shenault, who was selected by Jacksonville with the 42nd overall pick in the second round of the 2020 Draft, certainly hopes that his second score of the season also ends up giving the Jaguars a much-needed victory, which would also be a blow for the Vikings' playoff hopes.
