VIDEO: Patriots' Jimmy Garoppolo throws first career touchdown

It's probably not how he envisioned it, but New England Patriots rookie Jimmy Garoppolo threw his first touchdown pass Monday night.

With the Kansas City Chiefs leading 41-7, Garoppolo took over from Tom Brady and led the Patriots down the field for a touchdown drive. 

The former Eastern Illinois star found Rob Gronkowski for a 13-yard touchdown pass in the fourth quarter.

Garoppolo may not get his chance to start right away, but proved to be more than capable in his first NFL action.

It may not have come under ideal circumstances, but it's a touchdown nonetheless, and perhaps the first of many for Garoppolo.
