Result: Incomplete pass intended for Rome Odunze. The problem is where the ball ends up. Rule #1 when it comes to an Out route: If you miss on an out route, miss outside. Leaving it inside or behind the receiver gives the defender a chance to undercut it.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalUsage

Odunze's incomplete pass hurt by poor ball placement on out route.

Odunze was targeted on an incomplete pass in the 3rd quarter (3rd-and-5, PHI30) on an out route beyond the sticks. The source grades this 'Bad' and notes that while Keenum showed good anticipation by beginning his throwing motion before Odunze completed his break, the ball placement was poor—thrown inside rather than toward the sideline, allowing the defender to undercut the route and break up the pass easily.
