I'm fuming about this play still. QBs should not be rewarded for these decisions.
And I can't believe people think it is reasonable to expect a defender, in an important moment of the game, to react in less than a second to what a QB, who has established himself as a running QB in this league, may do.

He went for the tackle at the same time Shough began to slide.
We're not talking about a guy scrambling out of the pocket. HE WAS THE DESIGNATED RUNNER! And it wasn't even a big hit.
Just one of the most BS ways to decide a game that I have ever seen.
