That's a highlight reel catch. Overthrown ball, but Simpson is ON HIS GAME.

Ponder has thrown more 35+ yard throws than 7-15 yard throws.

Even that one to Simpson was awful. Bailed out again.

Why can't Ponder hit Simpson in stride there? He's wide open for a TD there and that is the big strike down the field the Vikings need.

TERRIBLE throw, awesome catch. Simpson has been beating his man all day. Ponder has been missing him pretty badly.

I don't get how it has to be such a hard throw for Ponder in other starting qb would of fed that in perfectly and would of been a touchdown, Ponder almost over throws it now we still have ten yards to punch it in or for him to screw up.

Simpson has always been good at making those types of grabs, he's very athletic. It's the over the middle/tight coverage throws where he struggles.
