Aaron Rodgers points the finger at Mike Williams for the game-sealing interception

Generally, an interception is always the quarterback's fault. Even when it's not the quarterback's fault.

After Monday night's loss to the Bills, Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers laid the blame on receiver Mike Williams. Although it was arguably the quarterback's fault, at least in part.

Rodgers seemed a little uncomfortable when first asked about the play by reporters, saying: “What's it about?”

He was then asked to take them with it.

“It was two verticals,” Rogers said. “Allen [Lazard is] Below the seam, the mic is below the red line. So I'm looking at Allen, he puts his hands up, three guys go with him. So I'm throwing a no-look at the red line. And when I peeked my eyes back there, he was driving an in-breaker. so Um, it has to be below the red line.”

Rodgers was later asked if Rodgers threw the ball thinking Williams would come back for it.

“No, I was throwing at the red line,” Rodgers said. “But when I came here [gesturing with his arm]I realized he was driving an in-breaker. So I had to kind of adjust it a little bit. But the play is two guys vertical, one guy on the bottom, one guy on the red line.”

said Tuesday's Devin McCourty (who called the game for Westwood One). PFT is liveRodgers shouldn't have thrown it where he did. Running back Brees Hall was open in the flat. Even if Rodgers wasn't looking, Rodgers should have thrown the ball.

Devin noted that the red line is an area 4-5 yards from the sideline. It is actually painted on the practice fields, in red, as a guidepost for the receivers.

So Williams took it upon himself to change his route. And Rodgers decided, instead of dropping it, to adjust his hand to the pass mid-delivery.
