He did come forward, but when you are far back like he was, how far you can come is limited. If he was in position to defend that pass, he would not have had to dive forward to the ground just to get to the ball at the 4 yard line as he did.

it would have been two on one. theguy that was initially covering Nauta would have stuck with him, too, because there was nobody else in the backfield.

If you look closely, this guy was facing Sony, thus would not have been in position to defend the pass where the route was heading. He have been left in the dust due to being distracted by Sony.

Yeah, after another look I saw where he broke forward and to his left. That took him out of the play. It was all he could do to get back to make a close pick. he couldn't have covered Nauta.

It looks like he was backpedaling to me.

However, what is the point? bad read, or bad throw, or what? I'm not sure.
