Folks complaining about the INT at the end of Bills/Broncos (including Sean McDermott!) would have you believe that final pass by Stroud should’ve been ruled a catch & down by contact or a catch and fumble.
Just the silliest controversy ever.
“During a routine health exam, one of our fishing cats, Angler, was found to have elevated liver enzymes. When Angler started treatment, follow-up blood samples were needed to track his health. Asia Trail keeper Paul Brandenburger trained our fishing cat to voluntarily participate in blood draws. This meant we could monitor Angler’s health without the need to put him under anesthesia. Over the course of many months, he worked to desensitize Angler to the procedure and offered his favorite food, goat’s milk, as a reward for participating. Thanks to Paul’s patience and perseverance, he and our veterinary team were able to successfully collect a blood sample in November—which showed the treatment was working.”–Michael Brown-Palsgrove, Curator of Asia Trail and Giant Pandas
