If you're gonna only send 4 and then run what appears to be a man 2-over coverage, you HAVE to know he's going to scramble on 4th and short.
That's just a bad defensive playcall. Why are the safeties deep like he's gonna take a shot there? I mean - I guess he HAS thrown some YOLO shit there earlier in the year, but he hasn't been taking risks for several weeks now.
That was just such an obvious scramble situation. And I think a lot of it was window-dressing; he never even LOOKED at his check-down to Pacheco. I think he knew he had man, made one read (maybe Rice?) and then waited for the inevitable lane to form up the middle before taking off.
