If it was just about talent then guys like Rodgers and Brady would be converting these throws. But it isn't. Teams defending a third and 25 play differently. I guess you could say the "luck" involved in this specific play was the Chiefs blitzing and leaving Chase in single coverage.
But just like none of you would be able to point to the "luck" involved in a ten-year-old making a perfect 60 foot shot on a basketball court ("It's just perfect execution. No luck involved. Derp.") the fact that it almost never happens is proof that there is more involved than just skill. If it was just skill then the most skilled players would be successful at it. But they are not.
I’ll concede that converting a 3rd and 25 is long odds. But you act like last year we’d do it every game every quarter. The Bengals went on the road, were underdogs each game, and delivered in the clutch time after time. If you want to say they really gelled in the latter part of the season that’d be correct.
Romo “ so impressed with Zac ...1 of the best in the NFL… they are just fundamentally sound. Taylor the best winning % in the Playoffs of current coaches. Joe Burrow” Zac is the best head coach in the NFL & that gives me a lot of confidence." Taylor led the Bengals to their first playoff win since 1990, ending the longest active drought in the four major North American sports, en and appeared in Super Bowl LVI, the first since 1988.
