I would have to look back at that MNF game in 2019 of Steelers vs Dolphins, but I actually think the Dolphins called a timeout with around 40 seconds left in the half and the Steelers were in 3rd down and 20. Then the Dolphins run an 8 man blitz and a quick dump off to Dionte Johnson ends up in him running 40 yards to the end zone, because the Dolphins had nobody in coverage.
So it looked like the Fins called a Timeout, so the call could come from upstairs to run an 8 man blitz on 3rd and 20 as part of throwing the game. Back then everybody thought Flores made a dumb call, but now it looks like he was told to do that. At some point the guy wants to stop dancing, when the owner tells him to dance.
