NASHVILLE, Tenn. — New York Jets rookie Braelon Allen has become the youngest player to score a touchdown from scrimmage in the NFL in 94 years.

Allen scored on a 12-yard touchdown pass from the NFL’s oldest player in 40-year-old Aaron Rodgers with 1:47 left in the second quarter Sunday against Tennessee. The fourth-round pick from Wisconsin bowled into the end zone to finish off the play.

With his TD, he tied Arnie Herber who scored in 1930 at the exact same age of 20 years and 239 days.

The TD catch tied up the game at 7 on the Jets’ best drive of the game to that point. Herber, born on April 2, 1910, in Green Bay was playing for the Packers when he caught a TD pass on Nov. 27, 1930.
