Interesting take from BFTB on that TD pass to Sutton. On that play, we rushed 4, and DROPPED MACK INTO COVERAGE!!! WHY DO WE DROP OUR BEST(LEAGUE-LEADING)PASS RUSHER INTO COVERAGE? SMH...SMH...SMH...
"What you’ll notice is that of the five players to line up on the line of scrimmage, three of them are down linemen and then both Khalil Mack and Tuli Tuipulotu. On the snap, Mack drops into coverage in the flat while Tuli rushes with what looks like three defensive tackles, none of which are pass-rush specialist Morgan Fox.
Wilson takes his sweet time and finally decides to heave it up to the 6’4 Sutton who was being defended by Michael Davis. Sutton was able to box out Davis and snag the pass with one arm while Davis held the other. A penalty was called, but it was declined swiftly.
After watching that play live, it was probably hard not to either hang your head or roll your eyes at what you just saw. No pressure. Nothing. Add in the play’s outcome while remembering the team’s 15-sack man was 15 yards away defending the running back in the flat and you’ve got one heck of a cocktail to digest."
