Didn't he also tip a deep pass down the middle that was intercepted? Is that what they mean by "broke up a pass" ??

I believe he tipped the pass that David Sims ultimately ended up intercepting. But he did have a pass break-up in single coverage over the middle, which is what they are referring to.

Congrats, Jesse!
