With 9:22 remaining in the second quarter, Minnesota Vikings quarterback Matt Cassel navigated through a pass rush and launched the football deep down the middle of the field. George Iloka and Dre Kirkpatrick tracked the football like outfielders in a baseball game. Once Kirkpatrick gained position over Jerome Simpson (aka, shoving him out of the way), the football was free to bounce of his helmet, which launched into the air and landed into Iloka's hands for his first career interception.
