The Vikings blitz from the slot & up the middle & try to patch it on the back end. The two-high look becomes a single-high look as one drops down to pick up the slot receiver.
Nelson is the hot read, looking back immediately. Greenway rotates over, but Rodgers is able to hit him.
You can see Nelson looking back off the line. He's uncovered from his spot to begin with, then he sees the blitz and reads hot. Greenway rotates over, but Rodgers throws a perfect pass & Nelson extends, nabs it & rumbles for a TD.
Seriously. Look at that placement. What can you do about that?
The safety is still rotating back to his single-high position when Nelson catches the pass. He's unable to stop his momentum, so Nelson just veers to the outside and finds nothing but green.
