They shouldn't have gone with the full "defend the goal line" prevent,

At the very least you play cover 4 and tell you're DBs do not come up on a WR until the ball leaves the QBs hands.

And you only need 4 DBs for cover 4.

Definitely. They were in nickel and played it like a normal play from scrimmage when it comes to safety depth and how tight CBs were to the LOS. It was really bizarre to see it on replay.
