Is there anything wrong with my code?

I solved the error handling for the router.post(":id/edit" ...) a bit differently that Guil. From what I can tell everything works the same. But I am wondering if my solution could cause potential issues that Guil avoided in his way? 

router.post(
  "/:id/edit",
  asyncHandler(async (req, res) => {
    const article = await Article.findByPk(req.params.id);
    if (article) {
      try {
        await article.update(req.body);
        res.redirect("/articles/" + article.id);
      } catch (error) {
        if (error.name === "SequelizeValidationError") {
          res.render("articles/edit", {
            article,
            title: article.title,
            errors: error.errors,
          });
        } else {
          throw error;
        }
      }
    } else {
      res.sendStatus(404);
    }
  })
);
