From the episode

teams have figured out the Sam Darnold to JSN backbreaker. Right. Again, our plan was definitely to do these two things, to move it into man to man for JSN. They're not doing it anymore.

STACKED’s take

NeutralRole

Teams stopped using man coverage against JSN after identifying the Darnold-JSN connection.

Teams have figured out the Sam Darnold-to-JSN connection and stopped giving man-to-man coverage; Mike McDonald acknowledged the adjustment and made counter-adjustments, but JSN's role and target distribution remain subject to defensive scheme evolution.
