STACKED’s take

Negative signalRole

Cowing quit on the play, potentially allowing Bates' interception to happen.

Cowing stopped running on the play that resulted in Purdy's interception to Jessie Bates III, failing to play to the whistle. The source questions why Cowing didn't jump ahead of Bates to contest the ball; as a fast player, Cowing could have potentially plucked the interception before it went out of bounds or at least helped his quarterback by swatting the ball away. The source suggests the interception may not have happened if Cowing had played to the whistle.
