Ball was perfectly thrown, just probably shouldn't have been thrown because of the coverage. Mills made a great play, and if you look at the trajectory of the pass, it hit Quinn in stride.

The ball was thrown so that it hit Quinn in stride. HOWEVER, the trajectory of the ball goes through Mills' path before it gets to Quinn's stride. In short, it goes right through a CB's coverage. If Mills had not lost track of the ball, it was an easy interception.

Harris should have thrown it over the top of Mills and Quinn between Quinn and the sideline (near the back corner of the end zone) or thrown it short outside to Quinn's outside back shoulder (near the flag, front corner of the end zone). Either way, the ball should have gone closer to the sideline.

Gutsy? Maybe. I don't think Cam would agree. It's usually a bad idea to try to complete a pass that goes right through a DB's catch radius.

So the QB is supposed to know ahead of time what the DB's "catch radius" is and figure that into the equation before he lets the pass go? Makes sense.

He didn't throw a perfect pass on that play...DWI.

Well, my point is take out Mills and it hits Quinn in stride. He completes it and we're having a totally different discussion. But back shoulder would have been more effective, I agree.

ETA I was mainly responding to someone who said it was underthrown.
