Jaquiski Tartt shares great message after costly mistake in NFC title game
Jaquiski Tartt made a big error in the NFC Championship Game on Sunday, but he is taking it in stride.
Tartt missed a chance to take the ball away from the Los Angeles Rams in the fourth quarter of the conference championship game. Matthew Stafford threw a bomb but badly missed his intended receiver, Van Jefferson. The ball went right to Tartt, who dropped what would have been a huge interception (video here).
Had Tartt intercepted that pass, he would have put his 49ers in good shape to maintain their 17-14 lead. Instead, he dropped the ball and gave the Rams a second life. The Rams ended up kicking a tying field goal on that possession. The Rams forced another punt and then kicked the go-ahead field goal after that to take a 20-17 lead, which was the final score.
Tartt displayed a great attitude despite his mistake. He tweeted a great message after the game:
