During the second week of NFL action, Packers center Josh Myers had an unfortunate moment mid-drive that quickly took over social media. While the Packers were up 10-0 and driving against the Colts, Myers appeared to fall ill on the field, throwing up during the second down. Instead of calling time or stepping off, the Packers kept running plays. On third down, Myers lost it again, vomiting all over the football just before the snap. Despite that, the offense tried to push forward, but the play quickly fell apart. Quarterback Joe Burrow grabbed the ball, realized it was covered in puke, and instead of passing to an open receiver, decided to run the ball himself. After the play, he handed the still-disgusting ball to the ref. The entire exchange looked uncomfortable for everyone involved. Players near the action were clearly avoiding contact, and the Colts defenders were doing their best to steer clear. Myers seemed to recognize the problem, telling teammates he got it all out and it wouldn’t happen again. Then, it happened again. It was a bizarre sequence in a routine set of downs that left everyone wondering how the play wasn’t stopped. Despite the mess, the Packers stuck with their plan, though the execution quickly fell apart. It’s the kind of moment that might not matter in the final score, but definitely became one of the wildest highlights of the week.
