The play came up as a question during a pre-game show that took place before Capital One’s The Match golf exhibition. It was an all-NFL affair with the game taking place between the teams of Aaron Rodgers and Tom Brady facing off against Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen.

But before they took to the golf course, the QBs indulged in an interview with fellow NFL player and Arizona Cardinals DE JJ Watt.

Watt was asking some fan questions from the 4 NFL QBs, discussing who can make the farthest throws on the field. It led Rodgers’ teammate and 7-time Super Bowl champion, Brady, to respond about the 74-yard heave he made in 2016. Brady states, “I have seen all these guys throw it…launch it. I saw Aaron threw it in this game. That’s the first I’ve ever seen, rolling to the left. Must have been 74 yards in the air. They got called for a PI…Detroit?. So at home from left to right…I mean, I don’t care, 74 in the air is impressive.
