It wasnt remotely a pass, Chase said he was trying to get them to back off a little by faking a pass as he was cornered.  It is obvious with both WRs on that side blocking and 3 olinemen down field.  

It was more of a reverse and if you think about it we were obviously going to keep it on the ground and the Browns are overaggressive - see that 1st flea flicker, thus a reverse isnt a bad call against an over-pursuing defense - however, all world Myles didnt fall for it.  Chase made a terrible decision losing 10 more yards than he should have.  Thats more on Chase than the coaches, had Myles pursued down the line as he usually does this may have been a huge run.
