From the episode

What I think was supposed to be maybe a double move to Chris Olave. And, like, he's not under pressure. But I think he's just kind of under the assumption that, like, this is all we got against the blitz at this point.

STACKED’s take

Olave targeted on Shuck's late-game pick, reflecting QB's pressure-induced decision-making.

Olave was the intended target on a late-game interception thrown by Shuck, where the quarterback appeared to abandon progression and chuck a go-ball despite not being under immediate pressure, suggesting Shuck's loss of confidence against Minnesota's blitz scheme affected downfield target distribution.
