Scotch was also tasty...yesterday. And I don't think Bighill was ever tagged after making that interception.

Good thing I PVR'd this one, apparently from my lack of memory as the list went on.

I didn't go back and check but live on tv it looked like a foot got him. Does a foot count?

Yes, from my vantage point a foot/leg touched him.
