Marshon Lattimore's rookie season is going so well, the former Ohio State cornerback didn't even need his hands to catch his latest interception.
After a second-quarter pass attempt by Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan bounced off the hands of Falcons receiver Marvin Hill, the ball landed right on Lattimore's backside. With a little help from fellow New Orleans Saints defenders Marcus Williams and Craig Robertson, Lattimore was able to keep the ball off the turf and eventually secure it in his hands for an interception.
Lattimore's "buttception" led to another Buckeye big play just three plays later, when Ted Ginn scored a 54-yard touchdown on a pass from Drew Brees.

Lattimore, who was named last week as the NFL's Rookie of the Week for the third time this season, has intercepted a pass in each of the Saints' last three games and has five total interceptions this season. A Pro Bowl selection this year, Lattimore has been one of the NFL's best cornerbacks and is the favorite to be the NFL's Defensive Rookie of the Year.
