And yes - a needlessly difficult throw. Could "dead sprint toward the sideline" really have been the planned route?

Turn it upfield on the wheel route into 20 yards that have been completely vacated by the defense, and run under the ball.

I think the only defender who had a potential play was standing flat-footed 5 yards deep in the endzone when the catch would have been made. I like Adams' chances there.
