RB Ezekiel Elliott (All B1G, All-American, National Champion, Pro Bowl, All Pro, Los Angeles Chargers)

You're confusing "getting tackled" with "getting caught from behind." It's too bad Zeke got clipped just a bit, because then you wouldn't be so confused (to say nothing of your clear lack of understanding of trig; protip: if you know very, very little about a subject, next time don't try to appeal to that subject in an attempt to support an argument you're making :lol:).
I'd take the time to graph out on the screenshot that I took where using Zeke's path to movement as the B side of a right triangle and #22's path as the C side and show that it was indeed longer, but you clearly wouldn't grasp it, so there's no point. And seeing as #22 is behind Zeke, even at a slight angle, then Zeke was by definition "caught from behind". Being caught from behind doesn't mean one has to caught from perfectly directly behind.

I lied. I did gin up a simple graph. At the 50 yard line #22 was a yard behind and about two yard to Zeke's right. Zeke got caught around the 15, so 35 yards later:

So you're telling me #22 didn't have to run farther to catch Zeke. OK...

Not that you'd know this, but there are so many incorrect assumptions in that graph, it proves exactly nothing.
