Not a bad call. The setup and alignment was correct. The defender did his job. Mett actually deserves a pat on the back for handling it well. If he had tried to squeeze it in, it is likely a pick. If he had thrown it away behind the line, it would have been grounding and a much bigger penalty. Throwing it forward and taking the 5 was the right decision.

The next time a team sees this setup, they will focus side to side. Perfect for a QB draw with a mobile guy or a middle screen. The rest of the Ds on our schedule will have to gameplan for it now.

Somebody, please explain what the penalty call is here? If the throw/toss out to the sidelines is behind the line,a legal lateral, then "whoever" out there can still go downfield with it, right?

Or, did it only become "ineligible receiver downfield" when the throw-away crosses the line of scrimmage to avoid "intentional grounding"....so at that point, unless completed behind line of scrimmage, anything else was a penalty, no matter what?
