tbh I've thought about the bomb to diggs, in the context of that particular drive and the game in totality, and what it represented way more than is healthy😂😂
I think they panicked there. I think they looked at 8mins left and calculated that even tho they had played basically a perfect ball control game on offense up to that point, the likelihood of capping it off w an 8min scoring drive was low and they needed one more possession to be safe. After it failed they got stuck in no man's land and we all know how it played out from there.
I think that play, more than anything else, was such a poignant admission of why this whole low risk conservative approach isn't the way to go. Even after the perfect game script they were forced to abandon it and get completely out of character
