Anyone watching that Cleveland replay? Baker's knee hits by nobody touched him? Don't you still need to be touched down

What's the caveat there?

Are you taking about right before the half? He was pushed down by the DB. Two handed shove in his chest.

This got me thinking...why is a Touchdown called a Touchdown? 

Should call em FieldEnders or something.

You made me look up the etymology on it lol

originally in rugby, where the ball is literally touched down on the other side of the goal,

Before I started watching the NFL I actually thought TDs were like in rugby and you had to set the ball down in the end zone. I was so confused at first.
