I was just listening to Ben's radio show on 93.7 The Fan and they asked him about the 4th and 1 play.
Ben said that Jesse James lined up in the backfield and was actually the #1 read on the play and was to go to him out of the backfield, however, he was covered, so Ben went to his #2 option Wheaton deep. Wheaton was in a one on one and Ben thought he was open with the defender's back to him, so that's where he went as he was getting pressure. He thought Wheaton should've made the play.
When asked about Heath being wide open on the play, Ben says he saw he was coming open but because of the pressure, he went with his #2 immediately to avoid a sack.
Would like to actually see this replay.....
So, if anyone was wondering, there's the explanation from the QB. He also said he wasn't in on any decisions on FG attempts.
