I think it's more likely than not that both of those plays have similar results. On the first two deep balls that Alex threw, the Colts DB actually had good coverage. He didn't mis-fire on the throws, the defender just made the play. As has been noted, he was pretty sharp before the first hit. His strikes to Kelce were perfectly on time and hit Kelce in stride. On the 2 deep throws in question that that Foles made, one was blown coverage and on the other the throw may honestly have been too poor to be defended; he underthrew Hill by 5 yards there.


I'm thinking if he soaks his head in Epsom Salt and warm water - he'll be a go next week!!
