From the article

The Raiders are in man coverage, which gets confirmed by the tight end's (No. 87, Davis Allen) pre-snap motion, where Treydan Stukes mirrors his movement step for step. Post-snap, it's play action, and Stukes sees Allen bluff a block on Jeremy Chinn, so the rookie takes his eyes to the backfield. He quickly realizes he's been duped and it's a pass, but it's too late. Allen is wide open in the end zone for an easy pitch-and-catch to put six points on the board.

Allen scored on man-coverage TD vs. Raiders; Stukes fooled by play-action fake.

Davis Allen (No. 87) scored an easy touchdown against the Raiders when they were in man coverage; rookie cornerback Treydan Stukes mirrored Allen's pre-snap motion but was duped by a play-action fake where Allen bluffed a block on Jeremy Chinn, allowing Allen to slip free in the end zone for an uncontested pitch-and-catch.
