Silver And Black Pride on Malik Benson

Benson caught tight-window deep curl; Mendoza threaded ball past linebacker.

Benson was targeted on a deep curl route from the slot on a play-action pass where Mendoza saw the open window between two second-level defenders and delivered a tight-window throw with anticipation and velocity. The ball whizzed past the linebacker's ear and into Benson's hands for a first down. The source notes Benson could help the quarterback by taking another step or two toward the hash marks to create more space, but credits Mendoza's great understanding of defensive vulnerability and throw quality.
