Its hard to make a great TD catch, if your drive ends before midfield because someone doesn't make a block to convert a first down.

And, it's a team thing. Bowe's block gives Jamaal Charles a chance to spring free. But, Jamaal Charles might have to pick up a blitz to give Bowe a chance to catch a TD pass. The TD keeps the ground game relevant, and gives Charles more chances at carries...ect.

Perfectly said.
