Once every 137 attempts.

Explain those numbers if all that is involved is "skill".

It wasn't once every 4 years. It wasn't once every 137 attempts. It was one of many deep passes Burrow made that season alone. Hell, it wasn't even his longest pass of the season. Your only claim to it being lucky is that it was a 3rd and 27. That's it. And frankly, that's a bullshit reason.

If that play was a 1st and 10 or a 3rd and 1, would you still claim it was lucky? Or would praise the skills of Burrow and Chase? I would suspect the latter. Just because it was 3rd and 27 doesn't make the play flukey or lucky. It was a skillful pass and a skillful reception by 2 great players. There was no luck involved.

No, there are plays that are unusual that can involve luck. I doubt there are any kids that can routinely make full court shots, so when one actually makes 1 full court shot, its lucky. Burrow and Chase were completing a LOT of long passes last season. This was not the only pass of 27 yards or more that these 2 connected on. Burrow himself had at least 1 pass of 39 yards in 12 separate games last season. So, to compare a pass play that Burrow and Chase made somewhat regularly to a shot a bunch of kids try all the time and almost never make is illogical and stupid. I can show you multiple videos of burrow and Chase completing passes of 27 yards or more. I doubt you can show me 1 video of a bunch of kids making multiple half court shots.

The only reason you refuse to point out where the luck was in the video is because you can't. Because there is none. It was a skillful play made by a top-notch QB to a top-notch WR.
