I’m surprised Peanut didn’t come over and force him to fumble the tackle.

Middle aged backup QBs can’t afford that kind of money.

Considering that his father played HS football and basketball against my school and is my age, that “middle aged” crack makes me feel very, very old.

Only 15k? I bet some of the QBs with… shall we say slightly soft reputations would pay at least double that to have a horse-collar on their permanent record.

Nowhere near as blatant as Stafford’s temper-tantrum takedown of DJ Moore last year, and no whining by Hasselbeck…Class guy.

He must have learned that move from starting safety Michael Griffin. Seems to be his go to tackle after he gets burnt deep down the field.

Smart move to save the horse-collar for a cornerback and just roll over and play dead at the feet of Urlacher on that INT return

Worth saving the record tying 9 defensive Tds? Too bad we will break it against schaub this Sunday.

Oh Heck YEAH… If i was Hasselbeck i would frame the receipt for that thing.

When he’s old and showing his grandkids around the Man Cave it will be Epic.

Matt “and here is my receipt for the horse collar”

Kids “but grandad werent you a quarter…”

Matt “Yes! Yes i was!” [BIG cheesey grin].

It wasn’t really a horse collar because he dragged Hayden down by his jersey and not the pads. But I guess there’s no changing it now.

Every time I hear this guys name or see him I think about him saying “We want the ball, and we’re gonna score!”
