My opinion on the play is different. The Raven's defender had his back turned, which is a mistake. However, it is not that surprising, because as I mentioned in my initial post, Ben scrambled all game until plays broke down and waited for guys to get open. Yes he was about to get hit on that play, but I strongly disagree that he was throwing it up to no one. I think Ben saw an opening at the last second and put the ball in there. Good throw, good catch, great run after the catch. Improbable and fortunate? Yes. Lucky, as if he was throwing it to no one or throwing the ball away? No.
