It’s not often that a quarterback catches a pass, much less catches his own pass batted down at the line of scrimmage. Aaron Rodgers did that in today’s win over the Ravens. He might have saved the game in the process.
Here’s the play.
He explained his thought process when he prevented the interception.
“I was trying to bat it down. I was trying to get my hand on top of it and push it down, and when I did, I felt whoever’s big paw was there. So I kind of had to David Tyree for a second, and then it was kind of a battle for the football,” Rodgers said via the Steelers’ YouTube after the game.
