Croyle faced third down and 7, making a throw into the end zone do or die because of unsteady kicker Dave Rayner, who had already missed two field-goal attempts.
The play was designed to go to Gonzalez in the middle of the field, but Croyle noticed the 6-foot-2 Bowe on the outside alone with 5-9 nickel back T.J. Rushing, a classic mismatch.
“That’s something I’m going to take basically every time,” Croyle said.
