Welcome back, Josh Freeman.

Freeman -- the 17th overall pick in the 2009 draft who made 59 starts and once topped 4,000 passing yards in a season before the Bucs released him in 2013 -- made his first NFL start since Oct. 21, 2013 in Sunday's Indianapolis Colts game against the Tennesssee Titans.

Sept. 15, 2013. That's the last time Josh Freeman threw an NFL touchdown. Until this perfect throw. #TENvsIND https://t.co/0sxRoqJKb7

Late in the first quarter, with the Colts trailing 7-3, Freeman found tight end Coby Fleener for a 57-yard touchdown pass to put the Colts up 10-7.

It was Freeman's first touchdown since Sept. 15, 2013 his second-to-last start with the Bucs before the Vikings picked him up and gave him one start in October of that season.
