The year is 2022, not 2002, but Terrell Owens is still catching a touchdown pass.
Owens, 48, announced his return to the gridiron earlier this month by joining the Fan Controlled Football League, which begins its second season on Saturday.
Playing for the Zappers, the same team as Johnny Manziel, Owens ran into his touchdown from a different quarterback (Lacquan Horton) as time ran out in the first half.
Horton stepped into the pocket and issued a pass between the two defenders in the end zone. Owens goes up and secures the ball for the score.
Once Owens stopped playing, he walked into the broadcast booth and interviewed players and coaches during the game.
THE YEAR? 2022. THE TOUCHDOWN SCORER? TERRELL OWENS.

Fan-controlled football leagues feature seven players from each team on the field (a three-man line) on a 50-yard field. There is no specific team and the games are going to last for an hour. Fans help select crime plays in real time.
Owens was elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2018 after a career spanning from 1996 to 2010 with five All-Pro selections. He played for the San Francisco 49ers (1996–2003), Philadelphia Eagles (2004–05) and Dallas Cowboys (2006–08).
His NFL days ended with the Buffalo Bills (2009) and the Cincinnati Bengals (2010). Owens caught 153 touchdowns and accumulated nearly 16,000 receiving yards.
