Watch: Hilarious Mayfield blunder leads to 49ers INT
1 min read
No defense in the NFL has more interceptions than the San Francisco 49ers.
But the way the team secured its league-leading 14th pick of the season was a combination of perfect timing and an unfortunate blooper at the hands of Baker Mayfield.
On a third-and-6 with 3:38 left in the game from the 49ers 9-yard line, Mayfield dropped back and tried to hit receiver Chris Godwin in stride after breaking back toward the middle of the field on a snag route.
Unfortunately for Mayfield, he found the helmet of 49ers linebacker Dre Greenlaw instead, causing the ball to bounce in the air where it was snagged by safety Ji’Ayir Brown in the end zone, halting Tampa’s best scoring threat since the first minute of the fourth quarter.
