How did this happen?

This play pretty much decided the Wash at ATL game, since it allowed Wash to score and win the game.

Washington's ball on their 34 yard line. Second and less than 14 to go.
1:22 left in the fourth quarter. The score is Washington 13, Atlanta 17.

The pass from Washington's QB1 #2 Kyler Murray is caught by WR6 #88 Rashee
Rice for a gain of just over 42 yards. Rice is tackled by Atlanta's S3 #29
Brandon Joseph. First down, Washington! First and 10 to go. That was
NY0LOB1 (1252) against ATF3psN1 (1248).

See something odd? My defense called a pass short defense against a PRD lob play. I tested this match up in the play editor, and this pass completed for 40 yard almost every time. I figured it's a profile error I need to fix, I shouldn't be calling pass short defense on a 2nd and 14 with less than 2 minutes left. I tested this lob plays against PRD and PL defenses and it get stopped almost all the time.

I checked my profile and this is what I saw:

How did pass short get called and there is not pass short. And yes the gam e plan has PL. PM, and PRD defenses load, so there is not reason PS should have been called. But, as you can see from the log file, it was.

Interesting... I guess it's the hidden DC rating causing bad plays ti be called.

Did your game plan include both Razzle Dazzle Pass and Pass Long defenses? If not the AI will call something random.

Never mind I see you did have those plays in your game plan.

I can confirm this :)
I guess we all have to accept the game is very flawed and these mistakes happen.
Let's look at it like an NFL defense getting a call from their sideline and players messing it up.

6 PL, 6 PM, and 4 PRD defensive plays.
