Browns TD in 14 seconds
It would be cool to know if there has ever been a first TD scored in fewer seconds from the start of the game than the Browns’ defensive touchdown scored just 14 seconds into their playoff game against the Steelers tonight.
"Five seconds to go... A field goal could win it. Up in the air! Going deep! Tipped! Caught! Touchdown! The Vikings! They win it! Time has run out!" - Vikings 28, Browns 23, December 14, 1980, Metropolitan Stadium

Steelers-Chargers in 1982 playoffs. SD fumbled the opening kickoff and Pittsburgh recovered for a TD.

28-0 after 1st Q!! 35-10 halftime!! Visions of the ’89 opener dancing in my head for a bit!
I first thought of the first play from scrimmage, SBXLVIII; but that was a safety, not a TD. Adding more ’80s reminiscing from previous paragraph, this here 2020 Steeler campaign similar-enough to ’83! Only real difference a 9-2 start instead of 11-0.

It would be interesting to list all the defensive TDs scored on opening KOs. In '64 Cleveland's Roger Shoals recovered a fumble for a score on the opening KO vs the Eagles.

Big Ben started this game terrible. He looked like Cam Newton watching that fumble on the ground before the Browns recovered-scored ...

Didn't Charles Romes of the Bills score on a fumbled kickoff in the 1981 Wild Card game?

1984 Giants-Rams: Phil McConkey scores a TD after kick returner A. J. “Jam” Jones thought the kickoff was a punt and let it bounce in the end zone.
