Video: NFL players try to play a bit of rugby, cough up a touchdown instead

It’s always fun when American footballers who aren’t QBs try to pass the ball.

Okay, it was only pre-season but with defence like this, the Arizona Cardinals may have a long hard year ahead of them.

Playing the San Diego Chargers, a fumble near their own end zone allowed the Cards to get the ball back, and they should have just gone to ground and taken over possession.

Instead, perhaps mindful that it was approaching half-time, Rashad Johnson and Sam Acho decide to try and ‘make something happen’. What they make is a big mess and present Chargers tight end John Phillips with a gift of a TD.

Best to get all these mistakes out of the way in pre-season…
