Tarik Cohen makes some history with his touchdown pass

Chicago Bears rookie running back Tarik Cohen has turned plenty of heads this year. Against Baltimore on Sunday, the 5-foot-6 Cohen turned a few more while making NFL history, becoming the shortest player to throw a touchdown pass since Wee Willie Smith in 1934, according to NFL Research.

While fellow rookie Mitchell Trubisky struggled under center making his first road start, Cohen – who starred at FCS North Carolina A&T – connected with tight end Zach Miller for a 21-yard touchdown pass.

Last season, the league enjoyed another milestone when former Kansas City Chiefs defensive tackle Dontari Poe, weighing 346 pounds, became the heaviest player to ever throw a touchdown pass.
