The NFL turned an Aaron Rodgers fumble into an Aaron Rodgers interception.
Rodgers's game-losing interception almost didn't happen as he fumbled on the very first play of the drive, but the turnover was overturned by the eye in the sky as unseen NFL officials ruled that Rodgers had been throwing a pass.He may have been considering throwing the ball, but once he got hit, he pretty clearly decided to try and hold onto the ball. Then the ball just slipped out of his hand.
In this case, the decision to call this a pass meant Rodgers got to throw the pass that ultimately decided the game. If this had stayed a fumble, Rodgers and the Jets would have had something to complain about. Instead, they can only deal with the result of Rodgers's final legitimate throw of the game which ended in an interception.Stephen Douglas is a Senior Writer on the Breaking & Trending News Team at Sports Illustrated.
