Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins threw a hilarious interception against the Chicago Bears on Monday Night Football. The replay showed that Cousins’ decision to make the throw was a bit more understandable, with star wide receiver Justin Jefferson falling down on his route (after what could’ve been a holding call on the Bears), but the play ultimately looked like an arm punt- and the easiest interception Bears safety Deon Bush will ever have.
So it’s not surprising that this bizarre, very funny play confused the NextGenStats engine. Here’s how the play looked on NextGenStats, via Bill Barnwell (No. 18 in white is Jefferson, while No. 26 in black is Bush):
