Twitter reacts to the athletic marvel that is Washington QB Taylor Heinicke

Twitter blew up with excitement after Taylor Heinicke made his miraculous scramble for a diving touchdown to get Washington back in the game.

With a little bit of time left in the 3rd quarter, trailing by 8 points, Washington backup QB Taylor Heinicke, who was just signed to the roster midway through December, was put in a position to do something special.

He dropped back, felt the pressure from the outside, and started to improvise. Almost as if he’d done it before, Heinicke scrambled up and out to the left side, picking up the first down, and then making a last ditch effort, leaping towards the endzone with the ball outstretched. His hands hit the pylon, and his teammates went wild.

What happened next on Twitter was fun to watch.
