Even without the missed assignment, I don't see how that becomes a big play.

Agree, it might have got the 1st at best but not a huge play. There were 3 other defenders coming in, top left was running up......corner but maybe a safety.

So 65 is supposed to get in front the guy already positioned in the gap way to his left on a play going...left?
Seeing that he can't re-adjust pre-snap, that would be some incredibly great footwork!

It does appear that it was his assignment (you can see how ticked he was after the play) but good luck making that block without tackling the guy.

Maybe he slightly chips him to slow him down?

fwiw, the TD earlier on the fake-toss sweep did give them reason to think this would work.

Leary doesn't have to get out in front. Just keep carrying the guy that made the tackle toward the boundary. Zeke would cut it up behind him and Frederick. Lots of green grass in front of him.

There's one guy to beat over there while the other corners are gone in coverage, Tyron had the one guy there that was there to clean up.
You has #31 and #54 coming in hard from the backside. A soon as Elliott stop to cut, they are right there. And #33 coming in from the top right that nobody is looking at. I don't see him making a first down on that play, let alone a big run.

But in the end, it doesn't matter. They lost. They deserved to lose. Now they need to move on.

To steal a quote from Brian Billick, criticizing playcalling is typically ridiculous, because the arm chair coaches aren't qualified to do so. As fans, we are missing a whole bunch of info in terms of advanced scouting, down and distance tendencies of teams, the audibles when presented with looks, and the actual execution of said play.
