I does look like McCourty was beat on that play, BUT it might also be that looking back he saw the ball was underthrown and slowed down to make a play on it. It was clear that he was quicker to react to the underthrown ball much faster than the receiver. He did slow down on the ball much faster than the receiver.
But this is only one play in an entire game. This is the problem with criticism of any player. People want to judge the player on one play. I remember Light would play a great game and then let his defender by once and all the talk the next would be how Light was a turnstile.
Usually someone doesn't look back if they are beat.
