Interception with 2 min left. Who's fault?

The safety is only 2 yards behind Bowe and catches the ball at the belt level. I think Bowe had a chance of getting his hands on it if he tried.

Yeah, definitely not overthrown. I think, though, that Bowe was running to the left flag and the ball was thrown on his right shoulder a little behind him. I suspect that he knew he couldn't get twisted around and stop enough to catch it.

It's hard to see exactly, though, so I could be wrong.

On a 35 yard pass downfield Bowe should have some ability to adjust to a ball that ends up being 2 feet behind him. It's tough to tell since he never kept his arms up to try to get a hand on it. Not a perfect throw by any means, but it was also a very poor effort by Bowe.

Yeah, I agree that the whole thing looked weird. The interception was very close to him.
