What happened: Quarterback C.J. Stroud found wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. in the end zone to record the pair's first scoring play together at the professional level. The touchdown follows their October reunion after Stroud publicly backed the 2024 No. 4 overall pick ahead of his debut.

Why it matters: Establishing red-zone chemistry between the former collegiate standouts gives the passing attack a primary scoring threat following the midseason trade acquisition. Translating their collegiate familiarity into regular-season production was the central objective of pairing the two playmakers.

What to watch: With their initial scoring connection established, focus shifts to how consistently the duo can produce across the remainder of the 2026 regular-season slate.
