The Jimmy Graham mistake 2.0: TE a rare miss for Packers GM

GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Jimmy Graham versus Zach Brown. Six-foot-7 against 6-foot-1. It was a classic mismatch.

Except here’s the thing Graham forgot: Two hands are better than one.

For reasons only Graham knows, the Green Bay Packers tight end extended only his right hand and failed to corral what should have been a 1-yard touchdown that could have tied Thursday's game against the Philadelphia Eagles midway through the fourth quarter.

Excuse Graham for not making a similar catch on first down three plays earlier. That ball could have been thrown higher, and Eagles safety Rodney McLeod put up a good fight on the fade to Graham.
