Pittsburgh Steelers star Aaron Rodgers echoed what many NFL fans thought about his final play against the Cleveland Browns on Sunday.
Rodgers thought wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling was interfered with while trying to catch a pass over Browns cornerback Denzel Ward in the end zone on fourth-and-goal. Valdés-Scantling and Ward jumped for the ball at the same time. Ward was on his back and landed on the receiver as both players fell to the ground.

However, no flag was thrown. The Steelers fumbled and the Browns won the game, 13-6.
“It was definitely interference,” Rodgers said when asked about what he saw on the final play. “I’ll have to watch the movie on a second and third chance.”
Rodgers suggested he had all the confidence in the world in Valdes-Scantling to make the play.

The veteran wide receiver’s number was called several times during the final drive. The Steelers just couldn’t execute.
“He had eligible players on the play, and he certainly was one of them, and he’s a capable guy,” Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin said of Rodgers’ decisions. “I have no qualms about us playing to win the game and the way we did.”
Ward said afterward that he thought he had good position on the final play and added that he wasn’t worried about the contact.
