This likely was simply a misread/miscommunication. Who was at fault? I would need to see the film to determine, and I'm sure they will discuss that in the film room. I'm not saying J'Mar was wrong, but the likelihood is that he misread the coverage more than the receiver incorrectly broke off his route.
If you watch the play you'll see what I mean. The catch was there if the WR pulls up and turns. Water under the bridge now.
