Is the man seeing Ghosts when his protection goes south? Either way, hilarious quote.

I had the easy opportunity there for a pitch-and-catch touchdown but I got scared by something,” Rodgers said, via Michael Cohen of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. “I can’t explain it. It was a mistake by myself.”
Down 37-16 with 9:22 left in the game, Rodgers stormed the Packers back, throwing touchdowns to James Starks and Richard Rodgers on back-to-back possessions. After Cam Newton gifted Green Bay an interception with under four minutes to go, Rodgers and the offense had one final chance to get a game once out of reach into overtime.
The Packers advanced to the Carolina four-yard line, setting up a do-or-die fourth down after the two-minute warning. Green Bay came to the line of scrimmage in a different look, with Starks and Rodgers flanking the quarterback in the shotgun, and Cobb lined up just off the left tackle’s left side. The Panthers called timeout to adjust, but the Packers came back with the exact same look.
The play was executed perfectly, with Cobb going in motion from left to right and bursting into the flat. James Jones, the receiver flanked to the right, ran an in-breaking route designed to set a natural pick for Cobb. It worked, and Cobb was left standing all alone in the end zone.
Rodgers just couldn’t pull the trigger.
