Williams is outside the pocket, retreating, then dumps the ball toward the sideline. Brown (#95) is still coming. Contact is after the release... this is classic RTP.

NeutralMatchup

Williams' RTP call against Brown was correct; later TD after INT wiped by offside.

Williams was hit by Derrick Brown after releasing a pass on a 2nd-and-20 in Q3 (4:31, 31-31), resulting in a roughing the passer call. The source rates this call as Correct (weight 4, automatic first down that feeds points), analyzing that Williams was outside the pocket retreating when he dumped the ball toward the sideline. Brown made contact more than one step after the release with forcible contact (forearm to sternum), meeting the criteria for classic RTP. The source notes Brown had plenty of time to pull up and instead delivered a blow. Williams later threw a 1-yard TD to Jahdae Walker two plays after an offside call nullified Bobby Brown III's interception in the end zone (Q4 7:21).
