Anyone else question why did Carr leap?

Watch the video.


I watched the video. There ain't no place to dive there. If anything it's into the knees of one of the players. He's got nowhere to go there. I mean he could have stayed on the ground and tried to push through them. That's probably what I would have done, but I can see why he was trying. He wanted that first down in a bad way because that gives the team another set of downs and forces them to use their timeouts.

Hindsight, yeah, it was a bad decision, but when you're in the middle of it trying to make a play and win the game, you'll make decisions in a moment and sometimes it works, sometimes not.
