And Watson is not as fast as Metcalf.Metcalf’s was really good but Watson’s was just something else. He came ACROSS the entire field as well. There is an angle that shows his whole route to Bailey. I think Metcalf ran a straight line.
I still have no idea how Watson didn’t run out of gas. 255 pounds in that Denver air running from the opposite end zone horizontally across the field. Not to mention 99% of players would have not even put in the effort considering how far away he was and the fact that Bailey was one of the fastest players in the league.Not to mention Champ Bailey is faster than Budda Baker.

Metcalf reached Baker with 10 yds to spareYep, Metcalf’s effort was incredible! However, Watson’s was more impressive (bias aside), due to the fact that he’s a larger player AND he ran across the field AND he caught Champ Bailey who I’m sure was faster than Baker. I was just schooling my younger brother about this last night. Just MHO..
And he could have been a PatriotI don't care about who was faster or ran farther. He easily could have jogged or gave a half hearted effort and no one would have noticed or said a thing. Instead he showed heart to go along with his tremendous amount of athleticism and took off in a full on sprint to help his team. Wide receiver is a lot of times a diva position but everything I have seen or read about Metcalf he is an all around good guy off the field as well. As hard as it is to root for him knowing what could have been here I still cant help but root for him as he is so much fun to watch.
Saw this pop up on Twitter and figured I’d share it. Still a tremendous effort by Watson looking back all these years later.
Watson's play was also a points saving play. The refs just refused to call it correctly.Watson's play had a higher highlight payoff in the hit caught Champ Bailey COMPLETELY by surprise to the point where he had already 'let up and was celebrating his soon-to-be TD.'
Metcalf's play had a higher game payoff in that it actually saved points (Cardinals had a failed 4th down attempt).
