This is partially true, Moss stopped running bc the DB didn't "bite", but why did the DB not bite?

Moss Stopped Running! I don't care what play was called or how bad a throw it was, He gave up on the play! I love Santana, He is on my avatar. But the fact is he clearly didn't complete his route.
In the NFL, If you wait till the WR gets open, You've waited too long. You have to throw to spots.
The playcall:
In my opinion it was a great play call. We had our most explosive offensive weapon with one on one coverage. Collins threw a couple of jump balls up to Santana the previous 4 games and no one complained because santana made the play. In the Vikings game, Collins lobbed a ball to santana, Fortunately Santana came down with it for a TD.
A deep pass to Santana Moss with one on one coverage, No deep safety? I will take that play any day of the week and twice on sundays. More often than not, Santana is going to come down with it or draw a Pass interference penalty.
FYI, After the game, Santana said in an interview that he lost the ball in the lights.
