Yates didn't "simply" outplay Keenum. Yates had a legitimate ground
game, better protection, and more time on the clock to inch down
the field.
It seemed as though every time Keenum was given a run play the
back lost yardage. (re-watched it last night, and it was really noticeable)
I think the biggest run play he had was when he ran for a first
down himself.
On the second drive, there was such little time on the clock that
they ran out of an empty set all of the way down the field.
Gary did him no favors with timeout management and iffy play
calling in the redzone (which happened to Yates as well)
Yates put up points and Keenum didn't -- but 10 of 14, mostly in
2-minute drill mode (when everyone in the stadium knows you're going
to be throwing the ball), isn't shabby..

Even if that was a good pass, which it wasn't, it was the wrong throw to make. 4th and 6 and the throw went to a well-covered WR for a possible 3 yard completion. Yates simply outplayed Keenum today.
