Lines up to punt. Tells every player to hold. Punter runs out clock while every Bengal is trying to get out of hold. Not defensive penalty so no time extension. Genius. I was on wrong side of game but love seeing smart coaching like that.
It wasn't though coach. 11 seconds left. A kick return and at least 1 Hail Mary chance were essentially nullified by good coaching. I agree odds are low of bengals converting there but they are above zero and coaching made them zero. I appreciate that.
I know - that was terrific - goes to show you there are still things out there we have not seen before.
What if ? on these end of the game plays with like 25 seconds to go and no timeouts - play is down the middle - made the first down - why not just turn and burn a lateral out of bounds to stop the clock. It would save about 15 seconds over getting tackled and spiking it?
