Sun God is so good at catching them, do they do it into coverage to prevent turnovers on contested catches in tight windows? Every game I see St Brown is making catches he has no business catching.

I think Goff is doing what he can to minimize interceptions, even at the cost of reducing his completion %. It’s a part of how he’s running this offense - he’s not trying to put up 50/50 balls; he’s trying to put them where only his receivers can reach them. (Reminder that yesterday, only 1 of 3 can truly be put on Goff. A tipped ball and a body blow to LaPorta led to the other two.)
That’s, I think, why there are so many throws that are low, or behind the receiver, or sailing over the receiver’s head out-of-bounds.
Trust in his receivers is a major part of his willingness to throw to them - Goff’s interview the other day, specifically when asked about Jamo, shines a light on that as well. If he doesn’t think they can, for whatever reason, be able to reel in a ball, he’s not going to throw it to them. But part of that trust means diving for low throws, stretching out the body for wide throws, etc.
People pointing out that it’s harder for defenders to get to and they’re right - but more importantly try St Brown catching as he’s going down makes it harder for him to get lit up by those defenders
The touchdown yesterday was 100% on purpose. Either ARSB catches it or nobody does. At other times it’s a similar mentality. But like the TD versus the chargers that was accidental.
