Pump and throw, catch the safety out of position, and let Holmes take the chances on a one-on-one.
It was just a heads up smart play by the Bills Safety. Give him the credit.
If Ben was guilty of anything, it was not calling in a different play when he saw the cover-3... then again, he may have thought that was the defense he wanted to free Holmes up for a bomb to the endzone.

I'll say this. Just about everyone watching the game with me was in agreement that Ben was going to Holmes no matter what on that play.
