Coworker made a $200k mistake on a project I’m overseeing. Don’t want them fired

Company recently did annual reviews and gave all poor reviews because they equate the score with the pay increase. The review comments says “John/Jane Doe did a great job, above and beyond, blah blah blah” but the score is 2/5 or 3/5. Heard from multiple employees and managers. Needless to say, morale is shit and everyone is doing bare minimum. The beginning of the year is also when we onboard a lot of new business on very tight timeline. An analyst (nice guy) made a mistake and might cost about $200k/month worth of new business on a high visibility project that I'm overseeing. I need to clear my name so I don't get blamed for this, but also don't want to get my coworker fired because the company kinda deserves this. How do I present this to executives?
