I think they were trying to be clever and catch the defense off guard with the early snap. I'm sure they were also counting on getting at least one more possession when at that point they had 3 time outs and the 2-minute warning left. Too risky of a call on a low percentage throw in that situation IMO. Just hit the deep out.. and where the **** has the backshoulder pass been all year too? We used to hit that thing to Bowe and subsequently Maclin all the time.
