Defensive lineman rarely ever score touchdowns, it's just not what they are built to do. However what kid grows up playing football that doesn't dream of the glory of getting into the end zone? Defensive lineman Jonathan Allen was one of those kids and every week he practices to score a touchdown, even it would be almost impossible.

"He probably hasn't scored a touchdown in his whole life," teammate Shaun Dion Hamilton told reporters. "At practice he always says 'Bro, I just want to score a touchdown."
After the game Allen talked about his big moment.
"I'm looking at the screen the whole time making sure nobody comes up from behind, trying not to make a bone-headed play and fumble," Allen said. "Just making sure I cross the goal line and get down with the ball."
"Oh yeah, I saw him coming on the big screen so I just made sure to cover up and make sure I didn't do anything to mess up a good play," Allen said.
When asked how he his teammates felt about the touchdown Allen's response was exactly as you'd expect, "Just shocked," he said. "Just like me."
