Was That a Touchdown? Week 2 Edition
Kenbrell Thompkins

St. Louis Rams rookie wideout Tavon Austin was ruled to have gotten both feet inbounds against the Falcons.

Martellus Bennett
Martellus Bennett used some nifty footwork to score this game-winning touchdown for the Bears with 10 seconds remaining.

DeAndre Hopkins
This touchdown catch and toe-tap by DeAndre Hopkins was harder than it looks here. It held upon review in overtime to give the Texans their second win of the season.
Rueben Randle
Rueben Randle was so close to the goal line that fans were already celebrating, but replays showed the Broncos forcing this fumble inches before he reached the end zone.
Derek Moye
Pittsburgh's Derek Moye got both feet down for the Steelers lone touchdown against Cincinnati
Austin Pettis
St. Louis wide receiver Austin Pettis scored ahead of Atlanta Falcons cornerback Robert McClain.
