Hard to see the miscommunication, that throw never should have been made. No route adjustment built into that play call is stopping the DB from undercutting the route.

The WR probably didn’t expect the ball because he had the DB sitting right on top of him, he’s basically running a clear out route at that point.
There is a route adjustment. #12 was sidestepping backwards from the snap and continued too. Since he gave a cushion and then still went backwards the route adjustment should have been to cut the route short and drift outside. It was 2nd and about 16 no need to pick up the 1st on that play. Now I'll say that it was not the greatest throw , he had to get it over #31's reach, it could have been lower and to the outside more ( Back-shoulder throw)
