WATCH: Why Didn't Sean Lee Blow Sam Bradford Up On This Play?

Replays are great, but sometimes when you watch them something that looked right during the game can look off when you see it up close and in slow motion. Such was the case for one play that Dallas Cowboys linebacker Sean Lee was in on against Philadelphia Sunday night.

He appeared to be about to pounce on Sam Bradford on this play, but then turns and runs the other way. WTF?

It was likely a screen play which would explain why it was so easy for Lee to get through the line. When he recognizes the play it is his job to retrace his steps and go after the receiver.

So while it looked funny, Lee was actually doing his job.
