Ward got burned, but you see Thornhill jumping this open guy.

Yeah, I thought he jumped the play-fake on that but turns out he just locked onto the wrong dude.
Ward clearly didn't have a good day but sometimes you get bailed out on a play like that deep ball; that's kinda the point in having a deep safety. If he has deep help, the ball probably doesn't even get thrown.
Granted, he had a chance to bail out his teammate there (knock it away and Thornhill's error means nothing) and didn't, so it's not like he's without blame. But he had to feel hung out to dry there a bit.
