Prior to their playoff matchup against the Dallas Cowboys in the divisional round, Green Bay Packers’ quarterback Aaron Rodgers hadn’t thrown an interception in his last eight contests. But then Rodgers ran into Cowboys reserve safety Jeff Heath. The 26-year core special teamer picked off the Packer gunslinger twice, one of which was called back due to an off-the-ball penalty.
Against Green Bay, in the Cowboys biggest game of the season, Heath also recorded three tackles and a bone-crushing sack on Rodgers that probably should have resulted in a game-changing fumble. Despite his heroics, Dallas still lost the postseason contest 34-31 on a last second field goal.
