On the next play, Goff targeted Amon-Ra St. Brown deep down the right sideline. St. Brown lined up tight and broke outside on a double move out and up. Keisean Nixon was the defender in coverage and jumped the out cut on a bit of subtle movement by Goff just before he threw the ball... one of the league's most productive receivers slipped out uncovered.

St. Brown beat Packers coverage twice via motion and double moves; one nearly went for TD.

St. Brown exploited Packers cornerback Keisean Nixon's coverage breakdown on a double move, lining up tight and breaking outside on an out-and-up route. Nixon jumped the out cut prematurely after reacting to subtle quarterback movement by Goff, leaving St. Brown open down the sideline; only a throw that pulled St. Brown back toward the defender prevented a touchdown. Later, St. Brown motioned into the backfield behind tight ends and was left entirely uncovered as Packers' second level locked onto play-action fake, demonstrating how the source describes him as 'one of the league's most productive receivers' exploiting defensive processing issues.
