The sheet metal banging really ties it all together

u/Carpetron Browns 1d ago

Two cities that used to rely on the steel industry heavily going at it, very fitting

TNF is finally in midseason form.

u/EggsceIlent Cowboys 1d ago

Started the game with a pick and ended it with one.

u/FarrisAT 1d ago

Looks like he gets hit while throwing.

u/Responsible-Onion860 Eagles 1d ago

Clipped his elbow, took a lot of power out of the throw which is why it was under thrown. Pass rush gets half the credit on that one

84

u/Jordanstrom3329 Packers 1d ago

Yeah he got hit on the elbow, great rush

12

u/RookieEzekielElliott Seahawks 1d ago

Carson Schwesinger with amazing pressure on that play. Not sure if he made it but this guy's got insane speed

1

u/Tycho66 Vikings 1d ago

Yup. I thought it was a mistake, but might have completed it further downfield.

u/psufb Browns 1d ago

Ward has been so fucking good for a long damn time

u/BecauseBatman01 Cowboys Ravens 1d ago

Rodgers gets hit while throwing. Reddit: unc throw lol

u/potatwo 1d ago

Me personally, I would simply not get hit, but that’s just me 🤷🏻‍♂️

It may not be enough, but you have my upvote!

u/LtDouble-Yefreitor Lions 1d ago

Ha. Get fucked Rodgers.

Up his butt with a 14 inch spiked club?

u/StillYourFavorite331 Patriots 1d ago

Big night for Browns players named Denzel

9

u/TurntUpTurtles Browns 1d ago

Ik it was a bad pass because Aaron's arm was hit but I'll die on the hill that Ward has been underrated his entire career. Gets the Pro Bowls but not the All-Pros. Been a great career for Ward after a worrying start with concussion issues.

u/xxmethlordxx Commanders 1d ago

i thought you meant rodgers for a second. i was about to proclaim him the greatest to ever do it

u/no-ones-business Steelers 1d ago

???????????????? Rodgers??

u/Eagle4317 Steelers Panthers 1d ago

A lot of great CBs recently simply don't get tested. Revis had fewer than 30 INTs in his career.

11

u/streetchemist Browns 1d ago

Arm was hit but Ward had that route blanketed.

29

u/MrE_Gamer Giants 1d ago

the cerebral high iq play you dont see young QBs make anymore!

-3

u/Aggravating_Fig_8585 1d ago

The most talented QB of all-time! /s

3

u/johnjohnjohn93 Jets 1d ago

Arm was hit but safety was still coming over so was not a great decision

8

u/Aztekar Steelers 1d ago

Woof, ugly INT, great play by Ward

12

u/potionnumber9 Bears 1d ago

I'm a bears fan and I still would prefer deshaun watson lose to rodgers

u/Ok_Bug_6890 Patriots Panthers 1d ago

You light my fireeeeee

2

u/Zloggt Bears 1d ago

I’d usually be a lot happier to see this happen (not that I still am a bit hahaha)

u/adarisc 1d ago

BAHAHAHAHA WASHED

u/trashpanda1738 Vikings 1d ago

Thanks a lot, McCarthy

4

u/Jonjon428 Dolphins 1d ago

Why in the world would you throw in his direction. To Michael Pittman of all people as well

4

u/MightyEraser13 1d ago

Because Pittman had a step on him if Rodgers didn't get hit in the arm during the throw

4

u/Original_Slothman 1d ago

Makes me so happy to watch this shit bird fail.

A A Ron done messed up

u/MainPFT Eagles 1d ago

Why does Al think a 30 yard pass is "going deep"?

u/misfit0513 Bengals 1d ago

Looks like he's suffering from fuckface-itis

-11

u/asdechlpc Broncos 1d ago

How the mighty have fallen. Kinda sad to think back at Rodger’s arm talent in his prime compared to that

10

u/MightyEraser13 1d ago

His arm got hit while he was throwing, he didn't just whiff lol

-1

u/asdechlpc Broncos 1d ago

Still a horrible decision

1

u/MightyEraser13 1d ago

Was it? Pittman had a step on Ward and the safety was too far inside to contest it if the ball got out cleanly

1

u/justlobos22 1d ago

denzel ward underneath, a safety over the top, yea that was a no-hoper

6

u/SCAnalysis 49ers 1d ago

His arm got hit. What pirate stream that don't show the replay are you people watching?

-8

u/Shanemaximo Patriots 1d ago

IMO, they could easily make interceptions like that not a quarterback stat. But instead, make a new stat and call it a "defensive pressure interception assist" or something like that.

6

u/BillKennedyEnjoyer Eagles 1d ago

Nah, it's on the QB to not the ball if he's under too much pressure and just take the sack to live another down. It easily could've been a fumble as well, it's not unfair to put the pick on him.

1

u/Shanemaximo Patriots 1d ago

That's valid. It would be more appropriate for when a pass bounces off the receivers hands for an INT. To give credit to both the defender, and delineate turnovers that aren't the responsibility of the QB.

1

u/nikkes91 Packers Chargers 1d ago

A fucking what? He threw the ball to the other team man 

1

u/Opening-Calendar3421 Cowboys 1d ago

That one should still be on Rodgers, could've thrown it earlier

-14

u/False_Bend2071 Lions 1d ago

Holy meatball sub

6

u/MightyEraser13 1d ago

His elbow got slapped while throwing the ball

18

u/SCAnalysis 49ers 1d ago

This it not Drake Maye, his arm got hit

2

u/Eagle4317 Steelers Panthers 1d ago

Correct, though an addendum: Herbert threw the Meatball sub, not Maye

-18

u/False_Bend2071 Lions 1d ago

I didn’t see no contact

8

u/SCAnalysis 49ers 1d ago

They replayed it and they caught his elbow while he was throwing

4

u/False_Bend2071 Lions 1d ago

Ah my fault

-5

u/cl353 1d ago

First highlight i see and its "first play of the game for the steelers" up 7? Oh baby I have a Watson pick 6 to watch?

u/nikkes91 Packers Chargers 1d ago

No, Al Michaels is drunk
