What can you do? It's a timing route called on the 1 god damn yard line where he threw the ball in the middle of the field.
All-time horrendous playcall. That's really the only narrative for that.
But keep on talking about how Russell led his receiver too much. Dumb.

How exactly could the receiver have made a better play? Phased through Butler and made the catch instead?
There's a difference in how Wilson threw that slant and how Brady threw his slant to LaFell. Brady didn't lead LaFell at all thus taking the risk of a DB cutting it out.
