From the article

Kupp and JSN are lined up on the same side as an EDGE defender and a linebacker. Lock should recognize the alignment and adjust his progression toward that side. Instead, he initially reads the opposite side before coming back to Kupp and JSN. Kupp would have been open, but by the time Lock gets back to that side, the pressure arrives.

Kupp open but Lock's pre-snap reads delay throws; coverage recognition issues.

Kupp is being lined up on the same side as defensive pressure (EDGE defender and linebacker); Lock has pre-snap recognition issues where he initially reads the opposite side before coming back to Kupp, costing him time. Kupp would have been open had Lock started with that read, but pressure arrives before Lock can get back to that side. Lock also misses a throw to Kupp on a screen pass that nearly turns into a pick-six.
