I don't think so. Chiefs were pattern matching on that play (a Saban late game special). Bourne was Fenton's responsibility. Fuller was never, ever supposed to be anywhere other than covering the deep post. Because Fenton covered Sanders, that left Bourne without anyone covering him in the middle, which is why Fuller did a complete 180 to cover Bourne. This was a problem, because Ward's responsibility was to get Sanders on the inside toward Fuller. Because Fuller had to cover Bourne, it allowed Sanders to run past his coverage and be open enough for an elite quarterback to drop it in for a touchdown. Thankfully, there are few QB's in the NFL who could make that throw, and Jimmy G. didn't make it.
