Watch: Lions rookies Kerby Joseph and Aidan Hutchinson pick off Aaron Rodgers in the end zone

It took some unusual happenstance, but Lions rookie safety Kerby Joseph finally has his elusive first career interception.

Joseph has had his hands on a few passes but was unable to secure the pick through the first few weeks. That changed on Sunday thanks to Aaron Rodgers throwing the ball off Lions LB Derrick Barnes’ helmet.

Joseph, a high school volleyball standout, leapt up and snagged the jump ball in the end zone.

The Lions weren’t done picking off Rodgers in the end zone, however. On Green Bay’s next possession, rookie Aidan Hutchinson got his first career interception.

Check out this fantastic read from the rookie on a deceptive play by the Packers, and Hutchinson finishes with the ball.
