That throw to 17 on 3rd and 22…

It’s not just cajones, it’s plain good coaching. You take a shot there because you could force a PI call too. Running a draw play gets you nothing. The punt would put you in the same position to pin them. So you might as well take a shot.
Good points. And we haven’t had a coach or QB that would try that in such a situation since Marino was here. And that’s not an exaggeration. Every coach / QB combo since was dumping it off to try to get some yardage back and already thinking about punting. Last time I remember seeing something like that was against Tennessee in a 3rd and 29 where Marino dropped a dime to McDuffie for like 40. Tua throws a fantastic deep ball. We saw that last year on those sideline deep routes. He’s gotten even better
