From the episode

Malik Washington is running like a deep crosser that kind of converts into like a wheel route on the opposite sideline. And he runs up towards the pylon. But he's like looking over both shoulders. He doesn't know where the ball is supposed to be.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalMatchup

Washington's route confusion on deep shot exemplifies Dolphins QB-receiver chemistry gaps.

In Week 5, Malik Washington ran a deep crosser that converted into a wheel route on the opposite sideline, but he was looking over both shoulders and didn't know where the ball was supposed to be. The source suggests that if Washington had simply run hard to the pylon, it would have been a completed touchdown, illustrating chemistry issues between Willis and the young Dolphins receiver core.
