Kansas City Chiefs rookie wide receiver Xavier Worthy had one of the best moments of the game Monday night as the team defeated the New Orleans Saints 26-13.

Worthy only had one catch that night, but he made it count. Travis Kelce lined up as the quarterback in a wildcat-style formation. He handed the ball to Worthy, who took it into the end zone for the three-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter.

The former Texas Longhorns standout went to the stands and handed the ball to his mother. They hugged and she went back to her seat. The ESPN broadcast showed Nicky Jones celebrating with the football back in her seat.

It was Worthy’s second rushing touchdown of the season. He showed off his speed in Week 1 for a clutch score against the Baltimore Ravens. He also caught a touchdown in that game against the Ravens. Last week he caught another touchdown against the Los Angeles Chargers.

The 21-year-old’s role is expected to increase following Rashee Rice’s injury. Through four games, he has 12 catches on 21 targets for 179 yards and two touchdowns.

In the win against the Saints, the defense seemed to focus more on him and Kelce, allowing JuJu Smith-Schuster to have an incredible game.
