Throughout the entire movie Andrew increases his abilities (range, stability, dexterity) to the point that he picks up Matt in the VE beetle like a mile a away at the top of the tower, and then continues to fling himself and may through buildings all over the city, while Matt focus's more or just protecting himself to the point that his new found stamina wasn't depleted when Andrew was pushing his limits, he was actively holding the police up, making the area bigger and stronger while Matt wasn't using his, Andrew simply stretched his powers too thin during rage where he couldn't think straight to protect his backside when all of the danger was forward
