Yeah, he's running an inbreaker on 3rd and 20. He's not gonna run it at 20 yards because, well, duh you don't have time to run an in breaker at 20 yards on 3rd and 20.
DJ brought it up earlier, you aren't gonna convert alot of 3rd and 20's in this situation, but what you absolutely can't do, is turn in over. Throw it short, if he breaks a tackle, great. If not, punt and play defense. You're up 2 scores.

Yeah, the only real moment is when Justin 'cuts' inside. Except that he runs this curving break; it's not a crisp break at the top of the route. I mean, he's open technically for about 3/4 of a second, but nothing about that route gives Pat a clean look to throw at either, imo.
And I get that we aren't converting a lot of 3rd and 20s, just as I'm positive that Pat knows that as well. I'm sure he understands that 4th and 8 is still better than taking a sack.
