Packers receiver loses improbable fumble on the sideline while reaching for a first down

Green Bay Packers receiver Dontayvion Wicks probably felt like the football gods were out to get him in Week 9. Wicks was on the wrong end of an improbable fumble after stretching for a first down in a close game against the Los Angeles Rams.

The play occurred just after halftime. On the first play of the third quarter, Packers quarterback Jordan Love hit Wicks with a pass near the sideline. Wicks fell to the ground while making the play, and reached for the first-down marker. Wicks made it over the line, but the ball hit the ground and popped out of his hand right next to the sideline.
