In a surprising turn of events, Packers QB Aaron Rodgers is making excuses for teammate Julius Peppers' dropping of a touchdown pass in yesterday's first quarter.
"It was a little harder than maybe he was expecting," Rodgers told ESPN.com of the play, in which the ball appeared to hit Peppers right in the numbers. "Yeah, he ran a good route and got his chest on it. Pep's a talented guy. We've ran that play at practice a number of times, and he's come down with it. That one was probably a little faster than he was used to."
So there you have it guys. Apparently the speed of a throw cancels out its accuracy.

That route was jinxed on Sunday. Peppers dropped one touchdown, and Andrew Quarless had one bounce off his face. Bad games sometimes happen to good teams.
