In what's already been a wild 2020 NFL campaign, Jeremy Chinn made history in Week 12.

The Carolina Panthers rookie linebacker had a third quarter to remember against the Minnesota Vikings, as he scored a defensive touchdown on back-to-back plays.

The first one came on a scoop-and-score following a Kirk Cousins fumble, which Chinn returned 17 yards into the end zone.

His second touchdown also came on a fumble, this time from star running back Dalvin Cook.

Chinn became the first player in franchise history to score two defensive touchdowns in the same game.

The Defensive Rookie of the Year candidate changed the outlook of the game, as Carolina was down 10-7 prior to his first score.
