This is partially true, Moss stopped running bc the DB didn't "bite", but why did the DB not bite? That is because Todd and Santana were on sync that play. Todd threw the ball out before Santana made his cuts.
So by the time Moss looked up the DB keyed in on the throw not because he knew where the ball was gonna go preroute or something.
Todd made a poor throw way too early in Santana's route. I think this is purely Todd's fault. Those with DVR I urge to go back, mute the sound, and look at the play.

The major problem I have with Moss on this play is he did not play until the whistle blew. He gave up. Regardless of where you think the ball is or is going, or that Todd made a poor throw, you play until the whistle blows.
If Moss had tried to defend the interception or even committed offensive pass interference and ran over the DB before he caught it, that would have been a better outcome than an interception returned for a TD. Instead Moss decided to give up on the play and start day dreaming, he allowed another DB that
was paying attention to get between him and the guy that ran it in for the TD. Moss had nobody between him and the DB before the DB caught the int., but since Moss had something more important to do than see where the ball was thrown, IMO the TD
return was Moss' fault.
