Andrew Luck made a similar bootleg jump pass last week and looked like Derek Jeter fielding a ball and making the throw to first all in one motion. Griff tries it and lands funny and hurts his ankle. Wtf?

Watch the play again. He didn't hurt himself on the landing. His left ankle dislocated when he cut sharply upfield to avoid the LB, then he took one more step and jumped from his right foot, then threw the pass. I believe that he jumped to avoid taking another step on his left foot. Watch the replay again, and I'm sure you will see that play differently. It was actually rather athletic, that he threw an accurate pass, and avoided landing on the injured ankle.
