0.4 yards of seperation? Isn't that about a tenth of a yard? It didn't even look like that much, as they were touching most of the process.

This Tight End never made a catch in the NFL before yesterday. He had a couple tackles in 2024, and he had a target on the Chicago Bears in 2022.

It was an amazing catch, and there is picture showing the similarities with Dwight Clark's famous catch in the 1982 NFC Championship, but I couldn't find it.

The pass when thrown looked more likely to produce an interception, than a reception or an incompletion. QB buying that receiver some kind of sweet expensive gift on the down low.

a completion probability of 14.7%

About 1 out of seven of those would be caught. Hardly miraculous.

The article is a prime example why statistics are stupid. No dog in this fight but this one was the best catch all day...

And first TD catch as a rookie to boot

The infostats are getting absurd. Did you know that Jake Tonges was the first player named Jake Tonges to make a touchdown catch with 1:47 left in a game on a Sunday in September in NFL history? /s

If the Seahawks player had just swatted it down instead of going for an “interception” (the ball was up for grabs for anyone in the area) they probably would have kicked to tie up the game.

Of course the Seahawks still probably would have fumbled rather than going for a kick and it would have gone into OT and we would have found another way to lose (speaking as a Seahawks fan).

It is 14.4 inches of separation. Anything they can do to promote San Fran.

I hate watching games that are in Seattle. Always looks gloomy there.
