From the article

Why wasn't Cowing jumping ahead of Bates to get it? I didn't even notice this in real time, but he just slows down when Purdy throws the ball away. Cowing's a fast guy; had he taken off, maybe he could have plucked that thing before it went out of bounds—or at least helped his quarterback by swatting the ball away.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalUsage

Cowing quit on the play during Purdy's interception; could have prevented it.

On Purdy's interception play, Cowing slowed down and quit running when Purdy threw the ball away, rather than continuing to pursue the ball or attempt to swat it away. The source notes Cowing is a fast guy who could have potentially plucked the ball before it went out of bounds or helped his quarterback by swatting it away had he played to the whistle, suggesting the interception may not have happened if Cowing had continued his route.
