At least according to Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers it does.

Josh Freeman walked over to Tampa Bay's sideline after his ninth interception in just over two games. The 21-year-old rookie looked first-year coach Raheem Morris in the eye and calmly said: "I got it." Morris' reply: "Go get it." He did.
