That's purely an arm throw and it doesn't surprised me that it floated - that's what's gonna happen when you don't have your bottom half into the throw unless you're coming over the middle with it and can stay on top of the throw. At that point you can use your hands/wrist to snap it and keep your velocity.
Here he was trying to go to his right and without a good base, he couldn't stay on top of the throw so it floated on him.
It's hard to call that an unforced error there - there's a clear reason why he stopped his stride. Exposing that front leg as that DE (who did a nice job dodging McKinnon's chip) comes flashing through isn't a great idea.
