I am sure the thinking was the other team would not expect the ball to go to RB3. Keeping the ball on the ground and out of the QBs hands was CLEARLY working. So on the most important play of the game, they left it to a QB with maybe 100 yards passing. I get it, it was a short pass, but COME ON! They got cute and outsmarted themselves. That is all.

Look, as far as I’m concerned, it was a great call. Houston was playing one of those 5 man fronts that have bedeviled the Colts run game all season. They double-teamed Pittman, leaving Goodson alone in the flat with clear sailing to the five. Heck, with a well placed pass, he might even evade a tackle and score.
When Steichen drew up the play, he couldn’t have anticipated that Minshew would screw up or that Goodson would drop it. As Greg Doyle said, the throw was the equivalent of a layup in basketball. Any journeyman Quarterback should complete it in his sleep. |
