Witherspoon got the start after getting benched for Moseley in Week 17, but his playing time was short-lived after surrendering a 41-yard score on Minnesota’s second series of the game. Moseley came in and did a nice job on Diggs, although he did nearly give up a long touchdown at the end of the game. Free safety Jimmie Ward flew over and delivered a big hit to dislodge the ball from the receiver. It seems unlikely Witherspoon will start in the NFC championship, but Moseley’s late hiccup makes it a question moving forward.
