The fourth-quarter bomb hung in the air so long, and Jaquiski Tartt was so in position to snag it that it seemed like the San Francisco 49ers safety could have called for a fair catch before making a game-changing interception in Sunday’s NFC championship game against the Rams.
“I see it, and I’m like, ‘Oh yeah, he f— up, and we about to win this game,’” Tartt said of the Matthew Stafford pass that came his way with 10 minutes left to play. “I had my hands up. I had it …”
Until he didn’t.
