    Seems like that cb bit on the check down underneath so why is it a smart throw when it seems like the intermediate route had a bigger window? I’m not understanding that part.

      pass had to be past 9yds, and purdy has already gone through his progressions on the left side of the field. Regardless of the “bigger window” in theory, he’d have to react to the window opening and immediately get the ball out on a risky throw. He knows Aiyuk’s route is to fake an in, then go out so he throws the ball with anticipation to where he’s going to be. If he’s accurate then its a free, easy 11 yard play.
