From the article

Amon-Ra St. Brown lining up at the wing slot, and inserting inside the B-gap with the run-action. Most safeties and/or linebackers have keys that read this action as a run principle resulting in the first steps of the play side linebacker and deep safety to be downhill at the B-gap. From there, it's an easy pitch and catch for Jared Goff.

St. Brown's slot motion and dig routes create easy completions via defensive misdirection.

St. Brown lines up at wing slot and inserts inside the B-gap with run-action on a designed play for Williams; this motion keys safeties and linebackers to read run principles, creating easy pitch-and-catch opportunities for Jared Goff. St. Brown also executes a dig route in the opposite direction of Goff's momentum on a second play, demonstrating his role in the offense's misdirection concepts.
