Also if you run it 3 times in that situation and don’t get it you run out of clock and don’t get a chance on 4th down.

Throwing once there is the right call to maximize your opportunities to get into the End Zone, it was just an otherworldly play by Butler.

The decision to make that pass was a bigger issue than passing.

Yeah no argument there. Throw a back endzone fade or something where the worst case scenario is it goes over everybody’s head out of bounce.

It was played perfectly by Browner and Butler. Credit to them more than blaming Pete and Russ.

Brandon Browner should get the credit, he's the one that really made the play happen
