JSN wins his route and creates separation, but Darnold appears to anticipate a corner while JSN breaks out. The receiver can't adjust to the throw, and the drop is costly. JSN usually makes this catch, and one miss shouldn't overshadow his outstanding game.

JSN's rare drop on game-deciding play mars otherwise outstanding performance.

Costly drop on potential game-deciding play despite outstanding overall performance. JSN wins his route and creates separation, but Darnold appears to anticipate a corner while JSN breaks out on an out route; receiver cannot adjust to the throw and drops it. Source emphasizes JSN usually makes this catch and one miss shouldn't overshadow his outstanding game, but the missed opportunity remains extremely significant.
