Should the Minnesota Vikings bench Laquon Treadwell?

It was December 30, 2007. The Minnesota Vikings were battling for their faint playoff chances as they took on the Denver Broncos.

Down 7-3 in the second quarter, Vikings quarterback Tarvaris Jackson dropped back to throw and saw wide receiver Troy Williamson streaking down the middle of the field. With Williamson as wide open as the middle of Nebraska, Jackson chucked it deep for what should have been six points.

As the ball approached Williamson, he leapt up to bring the pass into his chest, but he was just a little late. The ball bounced off of his hands and fell to the turf as the Denver faithful went crazy in what would eventually be a 22-19 overtime defeat for the Vikings.
