Inside The Play: Clayton Thorson's clutch throw to Miles Shuler

Every week, our Ian McCafferty will go back and critically review one or more plays from the past Saturday's game. These are the plays that, more than any others, were crucial in determining the outcome of the game. He'll check the film, and breakdown the how and why of those decisive few seconds.

Monday we focused on Clayton Thorson's touchdown run, but today we'll look at a play that was arguably just as important: Thorson's 25-yard pass to Miles Shuler's in the fourth quarter.
