At about 0:24 in the Game Winning TD video.

I think looking at KP's helmet (earlier in the video), he seems to be tracking Najee. This is why I think he's throwing to 22.

But at ~ 0:24, I think you can see that the path of the ball behind Harris would have probably also been complete (if he can keep both feet in).

I wonder how many OCs have plays where guys are that close together in the end zone. But maybe it's inevitable since there isn't much room to work with.

Two receivers in the same area doesn’t usually happen. After watching the replay, I agree he was going to Najee the entire time.

I didn't say so.

You did.

I said it would have been completed either way. I don't have the heartburn, that's you.

[SteelBucks]

That was 100% an improv on naj and Kenny to take his route downfield once he started scrambling

It was a scramble drill. Receivers and RBs are usually taught to break off their route. Najee took off and KP read it beautifully.

I think Najee went to that spot on the scramble and it wasn’t designed for both guys to be there.

Good call. I think you're right.

Man...still wired.

Probably woke the wife and kids up on that TD pass.

I think I woke up the neighbors

[SteelBucks]

I woke up my Eagles wife. She was already in a bad mood about the Philly game.

[TheRealTazz864]

I agree that we should give up our predraft biases.

Absolutely, WE on the list should give up pre-draft biases... I don't think actual members of the team have any, but I can't be sure, I'm not on the team...

Hahahahahahahahaha

[TheRealTazz864]

Was he going for Harris or Sims?

Really?? Sims was already way, way past the point where Najee caught the ball... Even I wouldn't have thrown that far behind the receiver... +he was already out of the endzone, +if you could see his nameplate, he had his back to the play....

[TheRealTazz864]

Picketts was motivated by the sight of Harbaugh's whining face. He wanted to shut Harbaugh down hard, and he did.

Harbaugh fans go home in devastation.

Who?? Kenny Pickett... George PickinS.....

I don't think the play was designed to have 2 receivers in the same area. Najee's route was simply a flare as the last option but when he saw Pickett scramble he went into scramble mode and went upfield. I doubt he was thinking about the play and where Sims was going to be. He was trying to become available for his quarterback and Pickett threw a strike. The fact that Sims was there was coincidental, imo.

[TheRealTazz864]

It was a valid point. Two receivers in the same area.

Camera angle.... Harris was in the front of the endzone, Sims was back-corner....

[T.Ferguson]

Again, you can clearly see KP looking at Najee before he throws the ball to him from the reverse camera angle. He definitely was not throwing to Sims. KP made some pretty incredible throws tonight, fans should be excited.
