GREEN BAY, Wis. – Jordy Nelson says he was legitimately trying to help. Apparently, someone on the Houston Texans bench wasn’t a big fan of the Green Bay Packers wide receiver’s Good Samaritan act – at least, not initially.
With just over 8 minutes left in what ended up being a 21-13 Packers victory Sunday, Nelson caught a pass down the right sideline from quarterback Aaron Rodgers, then ducked just enough to turn what could have been a crushing helmet-to-helmet hit into a glancing blow from Texans safety Corey Moore, who came flying in a split-second after the ball arrived.
