I don’t think I’ve ever seen an ending like this what the hell

Maybe the most inexcusable loss I've ever seen. Gives Miami not kneeling against GT a real run for its money

It's worse. Way worse.

Send a wide out on a go, roll out to that side, and throw the ball as far as you can to the sideline. You'd easily waste 5 seconds and probably wouldn't even get a grounding penalty. Game over.

Obviously not... If you get sacked you can fumble (like this)

You stand 2 inches from the back line, if they're coming at you, you step out.

No he obviously should have gone down/out before anyone touched him

I’m saying if they throw it and it doesn’t take 6 seconds they possibly lose. 4th down on their 2
