James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.
Taking a page out of Ryan Fitzpatrick’s book, Smith catches the batted pass himself and tries to make something happen before being tackled for a loss. It’s a valiant effort, but the key to “the Fitzpatrick” is making the play work on the goal line.
Better luck next time Alex.
