No doubt he did because the defender had the angle and would have at least gotten to him enough to let the 3 defenders chasing him to catch up.
2 things about that play. And thanks for posting it
@-X- you are the video king.
The fake to Austin froze three defenders long enough to let Gurley get by all of them, then they couldn't catch up to the play. They had to stay in position with their eyes on him which allows Gurley to break free.
And that subtle little shift to the left that put the Cowboy defender on his ass was a nice move.
This play was the perfect example of how this sport is a team game. If TA doesn't freeze those defenders, or the block doesn't happen, maybe the play doesn't happen.
This was a really well designed play and they executed it as well as possible.
Lots of highlights in this game for sure and that was the big one!
