It was a hot pass, but Stevens could have caught it. He was right there and the replay showed he saw the ball and it hit his hands. I bet he would say he should have caught it.

I don't remember Graham's play, but Rene took his eye off the ball. It wasn't one where he got drilled either. In fact, I don't know if he even got hit because the ball bounced off his hands and up the air well away from him - Provo dove and almost came up with it 5 yards away. But the fact that Rene didn't know which direction the ball went told me that he took his eye off it before it hit his hands.

As for the Chew deep ball in the 1st quarter, it was a toss-up, but Chew made an awful adjustment on the ball and was not in a position to make a play on it when it got near him. He always seems to try to catch the ball in stride when sometimes the right play is to get to the spot as quickly as possible and then go up and get it. It's better to make a catch and get tackled because you're stationary than trying to time it right and run under it at the risk of it getting knocked away or picked. With Chew's length and athleticism, he should be getting to more of these jump balls than he does.
