The pick six by Gilmore was because Dalton made the decision pre snap to throw to Boyd, Dalton's eyes never come off Boyd from the snap and a guy like Gilmore is going to feast on that. Boyd's route wasn't great, rounded out at the top with little urgency to get on Gilmore's toes, but that ball should have gone to the opposite side slot and it was probably a first down. As to his ability to chase him down, there is 0 chance as Gilmore is running full speed ahead with momentum when he gets the ball where as Boyd's momentum was going away. Optics would have been better but he had no shot at getting him in a foot race there.
