People always jump to blame the quarterback for an interception, but it was wide receiver Terrelle Pryor who was at fault on Sam Darnold’s second pick against the Dolphins Sunday.

The Jets had just got the ball back after a Dolphins turnover and were immediately in prime territory to score. However, on the first play of the drive, Darnold was picked off by Miami’s Xavien Howard. He was looking for Pryor in the back of the end zone on the momentum-killing throw.

A close look at the play shows it wasn’t all Darnold’s fault. Pryor wasn’t running full speed on his route whatsoever. Darnold thought he was going to be in one place, but Pryor was in another and it cost the Jets big time.

After the game, Pryor owned up to his mistake.

Pryor finished the game with four catches for 84 yards on eight targets, but he could have added a touchdown if he had finished his route. At the very least, he would have prevented the pick and given New York another shot at the end zone.

Instead, he wrapped up his day by apologizing to his quarterback and the team.
