Something that has always bugged me about game-ending desperation plays

Like the Henderson kick return.

I dont think situations like that should ever end in a tackle. The half second before your knee goes down, you throw it up in the air behind you, even if you dont see anyone open. It rarely will result in a TD but its more likely than just being tackled.

It should be a basic instinct to just throw the ball behind you. Every time I see a game ending on a tackle, I shake my head. These plays should end in 1 of 3 ways:

1. Defense recovers a lateral
2. Ball ends up out bounds
3. TD

It should never end on a tackle.

He turned around to throw it but he was wrapped up around the arms before he could throw it

OK but I'm not just talking about that play. Not all playere are bear-hug tackled as that is a very rare way to tackle somebody.

Completely agree. Henderson was sprinting toward multiple tacklers near the sideline; he had plenty of time to see he wasn't getting a TD and to simply throw it over his head toward the left as far as possible.
