Josh Rosen has funny quote about his long touchdown pass

Josh Rosen had a funny line about his long touchdown pass to Christian Kirk during Sunday’s loss to the Oakland Raiders.

Rosen’s Arizona Cardinals had a 3rd-and-5 from their 41 with a tie game in the first quarter. Rosen decided to throw a quick screen to Christian Kirk, who broke free for a 59-yard touchdown.

After the game, Rosen attributed his decision to pass to Kirk to the “MF rule.”

Josh Rosen with quote of the day on audible he called that resulted in 59-yard TD by Christian Kirk: "Back in college I learned the MF rule. If there are a lot of MFers over there, go the (other) way."

The call worked, and the logic behind it made sense. Unfortunately for Arizona, Rosen wasn’t able to connect on much more than that, as he went 9/20 for just 136 yards. Though he threw three touchdowns, he had two interceptions that gave the Raiders a short field and 14 points, which proved costly.
