Gutsy play: Packers QB Malik Willis declines to pass after teammate vomits on ball

Malik Willis is still waiting to record his first passing touchdown in the NFL but he decided to decline a passing play after he found the ball slick with an unexpected substance.

The Green Bay Packers quarterback was snapped the ball on third and 10 on what appeared to be a passing play. But he instead elected to take the ball and run.

Green Bay head coach Matt LaFleur was asked about the play after the game and came up with a good excuse on Willis’s behalf.
