The old man can still catch.
Marcedes Lewis, the Green Bay Packers' 36-year-old tight end, might have gotten away with a push off, but when the ball arrived, his hands were soft as a sponge.

And the result was a 19-yard touchdown catch that gave the Packers a 27-20 lead with 2:17 left in the third quarter.
Lewis, the 15th-year veteran, has mostly been used as a blocker, but this was his second touchdown catch and his two-plus seasons with the Packers.
