Defense on Crayton's drop of TD pass

Mods, feel free to merge into game thread....but I wanted to know if anybody else saw what I saw and didn't see this subject in the game thread (looked back to page 33).
Dallas had ball on Bears ~3yd line (4thQ, I believe). Crayton split out to right, Manning up on him and about 2-3 yds into end zone. Prior to snap Manning moves back to about 6yds deep in end zone - and I think, "What the heck are you doing ? Giving up the short TD pass." Sure enough, snap comes and Romo immediately flips to Crayton, who thank goodness dropped the ball. Manning then looks to be yelling at the Bears sideline, like they were the ones who wanted him to be deeper in the end zone, prior to snap.
My imagination or anybody else catch this exchange ? I have to start to wonder more about the coaching if they told him to move deeper.
