It was well blocked.

But the draw took two edge rushers entirely off of the play, one of which was unblocked. That left four interior guys to block 3 men at the LOS and two of them were still heading up field expecting pass (one of them after an OL whiff). It was a big play because the draw action opened up huge space.

Then, yes, the O line still needed to open it up. They got two pancakes (critically, on the LB). But I'd put the Bettis and Rocket plays on there ahead of this if the gauge is great line blocking that springs a long TD run. Those lines blew up the middle of the defenses.

And I'd say the draw was better blocking than the Adams or Dexter runs, both of which were perfectly fine blocking jobs. Just not particularly remarkable.
