I suspect either someone is a saints fan, or lost money on the game. Williams is an elite athlete, playing against other, more experienced elite athletes. Mistakes happen in that situation. He also made a good interception that allowed the Saints to even have a chance to win the game.
He was too aggressive on this play, and cheated too far to the sideline. The smart play was to play the ball, stay behind the receiver and try to defend the pass; then the worst case scenario is Diggs makes a great catch, manages to fight his way out of bounds with enough time for a long field goal attempt. It was a mistake, but not a particularly stupid one. Players far more experienced than he have made worse mistakes.
Big football fan here, saw many missed fg that were killers, dropped passes, fumbles but nothing quite like this.
It was a bad play at a very unfortunate (for the saints and their fans) time. That’s all. The “worst play ever!” stuff on Twitter is hot-take hyperbole. You take the good with the bad. Keenum made a terrible mistake earlier, tossing a floater in the general direction of the sideline, that 43 capitalized on, and if not for that, he doesn’t have a chance to make his mistake at the end.
