"It's the best interception I've ever had," he said after the game. "I must be living right.
"I saw the ball pop up, but I was mad because I fell down and I could have easily intercepted it off the tip," Lattimore said. "I felt it on the back of my leg and everybody tried to come grab it. I did a little leg curl and it was there."
Saints star Marcus Williams was the closest man to the action and said he'd never seen anything of the sort throughout his time as a footballer.
"I've never seen one like that before," Williams said. "I knew it didn't hit the ground. When we saw the ball like that, all of us were trying to grab it. Big play. Momentum-changer right before halftime."
Saints linebacker Craig Robertson was also in disbelief.
"It was a huge play. It's rare because a lot of times on a play like that the ball rolls off the back and falls on the ground," he said.
Fans around the world were quick to dub the bizarre moment a "butt-ception".
