MoF, we don't know if the INT was a locked route that Maclin gave up on, or purely poor execution from Alex. it was a bang-bang play, where if it was a locked route the story is set before the ball is thrown.
But Berry had a full 2-3 seconds with his eyes locked on a fluttering duck and completely misjudged his leap, not only missing the trajectory of the ball, but leaving the receiver completely uncovered.
It's as big a headscratcher as Reek's muffed punt the week prior, but Reek answered the bell and we won that game.
