Kansas City Chiefs receiver Josh Gordon found the end zone for the first time in a long time Sunday.
During a blowout win over the Raiders, Gordon scored on a short pass, and it was his first time scoring a touchdown since 2019. (RELATED: David Hookstead Is The True King In The North When It Comes To College Football)

I’ll be the first to admit that I didn’t expect Gordon’s latest NFL comeback attempt to go well. We’ve seen him try it time and time again, and there are always issues that pop up.
JOSH GORDON SCORES! 🙌
His first TD since the 2019 season.

Yet, Gordon has stayed on the straight and narrow since joining the Chiefs, and he now has his first touchdown in more than two years.
If that doesn’t put a smile on your face, I don’t know what will.

Everyone has struggles in life, but Gordon has struggled off the field with substance abuse issues for a very long time.
He had all the potential in the world to become an NFL superstar, but he seemingly just couldn’t stay out of his own way.

Now, he has his first touchdown since 2019. Props to him for getting the job done and continuing his comeback.
