This is the fault of both of Marsh and Hoover.

To blame either of them 100% is wrong.

90% on the WR. He thought it was an easy catch and became lazy tbh.

99.999 percent

Edit: and I don’t know where the other 0.001 percent is cause it’s hard to put that on the QB.

Dawg if Hoover places it in bounds Marsh doesn’t have to toe-tap.

This is a reach.

The WR was free. There was no reason this throw had to be to the corner of the end zone. The ball was both under thrown slightly forcing the receiver to slow down, and out of bounds which would have been a toe tap catch as well.

I still think this is mostly receiver. But this ball shouldn’t have been this far out of bounds.

Offensive Line?

I don't think he became lazy. I think he realized the game was on the line and focused solely on making the catch and forgot the footwork
