An NFL rookie who was shot in an attempted car-jacking incident just weeks ago scored the game-winning touchdown for the Washington Commanders over the Chicago Bears in a victory on Thursday night.
Brian Robinson Jr was hospitalised on August 28 following a shooting that saw two gunmen attempt to steal his car outside of a restaurant. The 23-year-old had to undergo immediate surgery for the bullet wound in his leg.
And just six weeks later, the rookie suited up once again for the Commanders and on Thursday night scored the game-winning touchdown to defeat the Chicago Bears in a game that his team would need to win to realistically have a shot at making the play-offs.
