From the article

This interception came down to a missed pre-snap read by Daniels. Before the ball was snapped, the defense showed a single-high shell with clear man-coverage indicators, which almost certainly told Daniels he was looking at cover-1... Daniels should have recognized that Cox was likely coming as a fifth rusher off the edge and that Williams was rotating down to take over the slot.

Daniels missed pre-snap pressure indicator on first INT; failed to identify fifth rusher.

Daniels missed a critical pre-snap read on the first interception; the Packers showed a single-high shell with man-coverage indicators suggesting cover-1, but Daniels failed to recognize that Safety Evan Williams was creeping down to 'cap' the slot receiver and Brenton Cox was aligned over the slot as a classic pressure tell indicating Cox was likely coming as a fifth rusher off the edge. This missed read led to unblocked pressure collapsing the pocket before Daniels could progress through his reads.
