What a matchup!

Catching passes is not the main subject under NFL Throwback's “What a matchup!” Viewers are talking about Larry Fitzgerald as a blocker, particularly the restraint they see in his contact with the defender commenters identify as Richard Sherman.

The archive upload added roughly 380,000 views in a day, bringing it past half a million five days after publication. That is a much quicker pace than the clip had been drawing, and the discussion has grown with it.

Several commenters focus on how much harder they think Fitzgerald could have delivered the block. Others bring their own football loyalties into the conversation: a Bears supporter remembers admiring his conduct, while an Eagles supporter recalls respecting him even when he was causing their secondary problems. Those are personal memories, not just reactions to a single play.

Fitzgerald spent his entire NFL playing career with the Arizona Cardinals, making him a familiar presence for opposing supporters over many seasons. Here, it is his work without the ball that gives those viewers something to revisit.
