Cousins may well have been looking for a sure fire completion over chancing his man going and getting the ball (which is probably why Jefferson had a quiet half), so yeah he should have taken a chance. But having your outlet receiver in a position where he'd have to make an awesome play to get the 1st down isn't smart either.

idk man

Video of the play ... I didnt listen to this guys commentary

4 wide ... 3 receivers go beyond the sticks, Cousins with some incoming pressure but nothing hot hot .. makes a quick decision to check it down to the outlet guy

Outlet guys imo are check down if-all-else-fails options .. and thats on normal plays, not your season on the line and you need 8 yards plays.

Computers cant appreciate context .. Kirk is a computer.
