All I'm seeing is a comeback breaking slightly towards the sideline, and a ball thrown a little high, but at Grant's outside shoulder. (if standing)

I don't know. It's really hard to get an idea of how high exactly the throw was. If it was at the right height, it was still behind Grant. A good throw would have put that ball into his gut, and there's no way that's where that ball was going. If Grant didn't slip, I can still see that ball being intercepted, perhaps off of Grant's fingertips. If Grant was supposed to break to the sideline, the throw would have been perfect. Again, it may have been Grant's route running or it may have been a poorly thrown ball. The replay isn't clear enough.

Regardless, I don't really give a shit. This game, while painful to lose, was a major step forward for this football team. Couldn't get the ground game going, QB was off on his throws, a number of bounces went against us, it was on the road against an undefeated team, and we took the game into OT. A few more games like this and I might not be so ashamed about being a Redskins fan.

I guess I'm just thinking Grant was going/supposed to plant and comeback a step or two while floating towards the sideline. Agree on the second half.

Really hard to judge what would have happened if Grant kept his footing. I do not think it would have been a pick six though.
