Jets cornerback Brian Poole stole the football from Raiders quarterback Derek Carr on Sunday in Week 12... and then someone stole the ball from him. Literally.
Poole caught a Carr pass and took his first interception with the Jets, which was of the one-handed variety, to the end zone for a pick-six.
After making his 15-yard trek to the end zone, Poole celebrated with the ball above his head and his teammates all around him. Poole made the one-handed interception and then lost the ball thanks to only having one hand on it.
A fan reached over and grabbed it out of his hand while he celebrated the third quarter interception when the pool around Poole went near the MetLife Stadium crowd in the lower bowl. Watch the video until the very end:

Now Poole wants it back. He's searching for the fan that ended up with the ball and he took to social media on Monday to offer a signed jersey to get the prized item back. Poole is even attempting to find it with the help of a hashtag, "#FindPoolePickSix."
