The Packers tight end believes he’s being used as a scapegoat after his botched attempt at grabbing the onside kick by the Seahawks. Over and over again, his mistake was played throughout the rest of the game, later on ESPN, NFL Network, and anyone else who had an eye on the game. People probably don’t remember much else from the game.
People began to know Bostick more for the mistake than anything else he’d ever done. For MMQB.com, he recounts what he was supposed to do and why it didn’t pan out that way.

Instinct. Bostick’s account reads similar to Cubs mega-fan, Steve Bartman. He reacted out of instinct and his life instantly changed because people were using him as a scapegoat. The human instinct is too powerful of a force to ignore at times.
Bostick, now with the Vikings, can never forget the the play. His best bet is to learn from it and move on… if people will let him.
