Buffalo Bills Dalton Kincaid's attempted catch not as easy as represented.
When we all saw the many replays of Kincaid not making the catch on that crazy Josh Allen pass, we equated it to the Raven's Mark Andrews drop and nothing could be farther from the truth.
Last night, no highlights really captured what happened.
Today on NFL live, the play was shown from above and it was incredibly difficult based on what happened.
Kincaid was running downfield angling towards the sidelines in a northeast direction from the line of scrimmage. As the play quickly broke down, Kincaid jammed on the breaks and in a split second surrounded by 4 Chief's defenders made a 180° turn in the opposite direction to try and catch the ball. He had almost no time to make the decision but by going back in a southwest direction, his angle to the ball was now too far forward and the ball traveled just a little further than his arms.
Was the ball catchable? Yes
Was it an easy diving catch? Hell no
Seeing the play from a drone view directly above really provided the best perspective. The ground view was too simplistic.
Thank God he was slightly off.....
