An unsuspecting NFL photographer caught a stray football to the face in the Washington Commanders—New York Jets on Sunday, adding a lighthearted wrinkle to a one-sided first half.
Deep in Washington’s territory on a 3rd-and-9, Jets quarterback Trevor Siemian was looking for tight end Tyler Conklin in the end zone, but Conklin couldn’t quite get his hands on the pass. The ball whistled through the air and found a very different target instead: The orange beanie of a cameraman who was just trying to take close-up pictures of the game.
Talk about an occupational hazard.
