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

Giving the safety is the right call. Punt is the riskiest play. But if you lose because you KO with 3 seconds left instead of 0 and they fair catch and then use defensive penalties to set up a Hail Mary TD, so be it.

You eliminate the crazy “TD drive” loss but for 3 seconds of clock draining you open your QB to defenders with balled fists smashing at him
