Leonard Fournette had a huge game against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday, as the rookie running back ran for 181 yards and two touchdowns, including a 90-yard TD scamper.
Perhaps his most impressive play of the game, though, came on an 11-yard run.
During the fourth quarter of the Jags’ 30-9 win at Heinz Field, Fournette, while running, waved at Mike Mitchell, encouraging the Steelers safety to hit him. Then, the two collided.

Impressive.
Perhaps Fournette really wasn’t joking during the preseason when he said the NFL was “really easy.”
