BTW, let’s just look at the picture again.
1. Lamb is at the 49 yard line
2. The safety is at the 40 yard line
Dak has YET TO THROW IT. In fact, the ball was still coming up.
The ball was literally intercepted at the 42 yard line by the safety. On an OPTION route, the QB is supposed to throw it BEFORE the WR breaks.
In reality, miscommunication had zero to do with Dak’s horrible play. As he delivered it LATE, while staring down Lamb making it easy for the safety to pick off. The ball is released when Lamb had already ran his post, meaning after the break.
So if he was expecting a flat route, why did he still throw it when he saw Lamb running a post?
