“Well, he beat this kid clean off the ball, and this kid’s got some speed. And I’m not sure he realized how clean he actually beat him off the ball. So normally, what he’d do is, he’d climb back on top. You go out to practice and see you see those red lines we have drawn on the field? You kind of go back and capture that red line. The red line sits four to five yards off the sideline, and you want to get right back on top that son of a gun if you beat somebody that fast. If not, you just fade it and the quarterback dots you on the back shoulder.
“He didn’t realize quite how clean he got that thing, and he bowed it out just a little bit towards the sideline. And he still had an opportunity — it was close. Half his foot was in, half was out. So if he had to do it all over again, he’d probably get over the top.”

Good story. I know what I saw, and have re-watched it a couple of times.
Is Andy going to throw his QB under the bus, especially after the game he had? Nope, it is what is .
Both of those critical sideline passes were missed and they had one player in common.
Bottom line, AS played a hell of a game, had great numbers, but the only time his team didn't have the lead, he didn't get it done.
