[@SaintStrength0]

I assume it's like marital arts or karate. Usually during an explosive move, yelling or your "kiai" makes you "exert" more or become more explosive. Which, I'm sure even though it's Peyton, even he'd need it. Absolutely insane throw, and he threw a ton of them. Absolute bombs.

[@awildschuetz1]

That ball was dropping at approximately 50 mph. Terminal velocity of an NFL football varies between 20-25 m/s, depending on environmental factors, so averaging that to 22.5 m/s equals 50.33 mph. NFL QBs throw around 60 mph, but never down at their receiver anywhere close to the angle that these balls were hitting Cris. That was an impressively accurate, far throw by Peyton, and just as impressive of a catch by Cris. Fun to watch!

[@ckmoore101]

DAmn. I am very impressed with Peytons accuracy here. Long retired, and cold. That first throw literally landed in the exact spot Cris' feet were. And funny to boot! And since its so far, it loses its spiral, so its essentially a knuckle ball at the end. Its why he was having so much difficulty tracking at the end.

It also looked like the sun was facing in the direction of the receivers eyes.. they could have worked out the ideal time of day where they can repeat the whole setup without needing to make adjustments in their positions..
