re: If Boutte catches the touchdown on the first drive...

If it was perfectly thrown, Boutte would have caught it over his left shoulder in stride, the way he had to make the.play on the ball, it was slightly under thrown.
He had to slow down , turned his body to go up to high point the ball over the defender’s head. That being said, it wasn’t a horrible throw, it was good enough and a ball Boutte normally catches. I don’t think you fault anyone on that play.
