I can live with that.
I think maybe he just got excited and tried to get rid of it TOO fast and it affected the throw.

He needed to put it 55 yards in the air over the middle off his back foot.
He connects on that throw one time in 10. Wanna try it on 3rd and 17 from the 50? Sure, you do you, boo. But that decision on 1st down when you're a simple swing pass away from a game-winning FG was a bad one. Situational football is huge and that was a really REALLY bad demonstration of situational football.
For perspective, the throw he made to Robinson was about 25 yards in the air off his back foot. He needed to more than double that throw (which was incredible) and do it over the middle of the field.
It was a silly decision.
