Some miscommunication here. https://t.co/Jy1pvayOJu
Definitely looks like a play we were confused. If Awuzie is indeed playing a safety role not sure why Dax is all the way to that side.
Yeah, the Bengals started in a middle field closed look with Awuzie bailing to half at snap. My guess is that Dax was supposed to bail to the other half and that would complete their postsnap rotation. You can actually watch Hilton to confirm because the question comes down to "Did Awuzie or Hill mess up?" You can see CTB playing shallow up top and Hilton bails to the sideline to play shallow at bottom. So, Dax messed up somewhere along the way and didn't get to his half to allow the big play.
