From the episode

Watson should have thrown three interceptions in this game. Like there was one where Will Lee is jumping a pick early in the game in cover two and Watson throws it at him. There's another one where he's trying to throw, they have like a play action where Fannan's running a little crosser and then they have the dig behind it. But he is as late as you can possibly be getting back to the dig and he throws the ball right at Lathan Ransom and he drops it.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalProjection

Watson narrowly avoided three INTs; accuracy and decision-making issues persist despite scheme support.

Watson should have thrown three interceptions in Week 3 against the Vikings; he had one where he threw directly at Will Lee in cover two early in the game, another where he was late getting back to a dig route and threw it at Lathan Ransom (who dropped it), and a third where he threw late on a play-action with Fannan running a crosser and dig concept; despite offensive coordinator Monken's creative scheme work, Watson's accuracy and decision-making remain concerning.
