Buccaneers rookie inside linebacker Josiah Trotter did something Sunday that had never been done. He had a sack and a pick-six in his first NFL game, becoming the only player in history to accomplish that in his debut.
Trotter became the second player in NFL history to record a sack, an interception and at least five tackles in his debut, joining Steelers pass rusher T.J. Watt.
“I’m just [blessed to be out there](https://www.pewterreport.com/josiah-trotter-bucs-star-born-2-pt-conversion/) and have the opportunity to be out there,” Trotter said, via Scott Reynolds of Pewter Report. “I wish I could’ve done more – a lot of stuff to clean up. Ultimately, we don’t win the game, so we’ve got to continue to do more, try to make more plays. I’m just blessed, thank God I was able to go out there and play, and make some plays.”
Trotter intercepted Joe Burrow late in the third quarter and returned it 38 yards for a touchdown. It cut the Bengals’ lead to 27-20, though the Bucs lost 33-27.
“Yeah, just from the film study and just trusting it,” Trotter said. “We got one like that I remember in practice, and we completed it. So, I just trusted it and trusted my eyes, just execute and try and do my job.”
