For the record, he has 96/96 man coverage ability (

My thought is that the DB was following the original route tree design for the play, which is a curl route. However the QB threw early due to pressure; the RB adjusted to the pass and continued running straight, but the DB remained stuck following the original curl? This is my only hypothesis, but either way, it almost certainly shouldn't have happened.
