Washington Jr. covered on flat route; Mendoza moved off the read.

Washington Jr. was targeted on a pick or rub route to the flat on a second-and-goal play. However, Arizona's linebacker avoided the contact and was in position to cover the flat by the time Washington got his head around. Mendoza came off the back and worked the other side of the read, ultimately finding Ian Thomas on a whip route as the pocket collapsed.
