WESTFIELD -- Jacob Eason dropped back to pass, scanned the defense and quickly determined his primary target was covered. A glance to the middle of the field: Option No. 2 isn’t there either. Eason then snapped his hips to the left and fired a rocket to running back Nyheim Hines in the flat for a 6- or 7-yard gain.
It was not a completion likely to drop many jaws -- especially not from someone with a cannon like Eason’s -- but it was exactly the type of throw Eason hadn’t been making all camp. At least not on time.
