I'm talking about the play where it looked like Claiborne got beat outside in the endzone. The coaches film isn't out yet but here's a video I made of the play from the broadcast (first live then slowed down):
Mincey was held before the pass so it should been called back.
The way it played out, the outside receiver (Claiborne's responsibility) runs an in route and sets an illegal screen (offensive pass interference) on Scandrick while the slot receiver runs an out route. Scandrick is forced sit down and cover where he got hit. While this is happening Claiborne is covering his assignment. He tries to fight over the trash (the illegal pick) but is slowed down. Once he realizes what happened he's forced to recover and get to the slot receiver.
Ideally, you'd want your CB's to pass assignments but the officials missed two penalties on that play. Claiborne played his assignment but because of the illegal screen it made it look like he blew the coverage. That's why Claiborne was upset with the play.
