Confidence in his receiver can allow a quarterback to complete some absurd passes.
That's exactly the case with this 22-yard touchdown pass from Andy Dalton to John Ross from week 11.
The completion probability on this pass was a mere 12.3%, making this the most improbable completion of the season so far.
When Dalton released the pass, Ross was still a good 16 yards away from the end zone with Marlon Humphrey in excellent position.
But Ross turned on that 4.22 speed to get Humphrey, who was a USA Today All-American in track and field in high school, on his heels.
Ross then outmuscled the bigger Humphrey to make a sensational catch.
Through 14 weeks, six of Ross's 18 receptions this season have been for touchdowns.
