“There wasn’t no emotion, bro, because I don’t care about what the media says.”
That was Seahawks safety Tedric Thompson responding to a question Thursday night about a play that had happened four weeks earlier, when he misjudged a 55-yard pass that allowed the Cincinnati Bengals to score a touchdown at the end of the first half. It was the kind of play that can numb a victory, knowing that your team won in spite of you rather than because of you.
But then came Thursday’s game vs. the Los Angeles Rams, when Thompson made what has to be the Interception of the Year for the NFL season so far.
