Honestly I don't really hate the actual play itself. In the last ~2 years, how many times do we see a QB in the gun pretending to make a call or something, then sprint up to the line and quickly plunge forward for a yard? Countless. It happens every weekend. So to play off that and give it to a back, who then has a pass option...I kinda sorta don't dislike that play on its own.

HOWEVEEERRRRRRR.....every single other aspect of how it was deployed was criminally negligent. Early in the game in a 1 score game. On your own fricking 30? Against the best defense in the league? I mean it was coaching malpractice. That's a play you run when it's 2nd and goal from the 2 a few minutes before halftime or something. Not then, and not there.
