Option C is the best descripion. Ie Carl doesn’t score touchdowns very often Basically the announcer is offering us a view that he is quite surprised at how Carl has performed based on his previous form. We can assume this based on phrases such as 'I can't believe it' and 'That's right' which infer a statement which might not be believable.
