It was one of the most mind boggling things I've ever seen in all my years of watching CB's...
When I saw it live, my immediate reaction was: "WTF DID HE DO THAT FOR?!?!?!?"

Against Outside leverage playing Boundary, there's literally no reason whatsoever to do that, like none at all. There's nobody over there & even if the WR runs backshoulder fade to the sideline, that's not at all how you're supposed to defend it.
That's why I laugh when I see people sparking the torches & blaming everything on the Coaches on Defense. I could show several hours of film of players making boneheaded plays, completely abandoning their assignments & not running the play as called.
