Aaron Rodgers makes Steelers CB Beanie Bishop's postgame wish come true

It's every rookie cornerback's dream to have a game like the one Beanie Bishop had under the Sunday Night Football lights. Not only did he become the talk of Pittsburgh after both interceptions led to touchdowns for the Steelers, but they came off throws from future Hall of Fame quarterback Aaron Rodgers.

Bishop was like a kid on Christmas when asked what his plan was to do with the balls.

"I really want to get them signed and frame, for real... We'll see how that goes, though," Bishop said in a postgame interview with NBC's Melissa Stark.

Although it seemed like a long-shot request, Rodgers said, "Yeah I can do that," when asked in his weekly interview on "The Pat McAfee Show" (at 1:47 in video) whether he'd make the kid's wish come true.

Bishop explained what he saw in both instances. "We knew how he liked to attack us. Whenever he sees the middle of the field open, he likes to throw those types of passes. I just happened to be right there and play what I saw. And then, on the second one, the ball tipped up. We knew that was a route that we gave up and that was a route they've been running, even in Green Bay. I played it right. The ball tipped up and I tried to house call it."

Though Bishop couldn't complete the house call, he set the Steelers up nicely for a Russell Wilson rushing touchdown to put Pittsburgh ahead by eight.
