00:00How did they just run three plays and only burn 20 seconds off the clock?

00:03And to set it up, just to put it as simply as possible,

00:06if they had run three plays and not gotten a first down,

00:09they could have run the clock down to about 20 seconds

00:11and Denver would have no timeouts.

00:13Denver had two timeouts.

00:14There's a minute 14 to go.

00:1713-yard line.

00:1913-yard line.

00:19I can recite a chapter in verse.

00:21So a team that had just gone three and out five times.

00:25Yeah, five times.

00:26Punted five times.

00:27They punted five times.

00:28Three and out, three and out, three and out.

00:29Four and out, five and out.

00:30They ran 18 plays.

00:31They ran 18 plays and five drives.

00:33Punted five times in a row.

00:35They're on their own 13-yard line.

00:36They've got a little bit over a minute.

00:38Yep.

00:39And your plan is to get a first down.

00:41Yeah.

00:41And maybe get into field goal range.

00:43No chance.

00:44So versus draining the clock down, punting with 20 seconds left.

00:50Yep.

00:50Going to overtime.

00:51Denver might get the ball with like 15 seconds and no timeouts or whatever.

00:54They wouldn't be able to do anything.

00:55Yeah.

00:56And then at least you could get some field position perhaps with a kickoff return.

01:00Yeah.

01:00Or what have you.

01:01Or anything.

01:01Something.

01:01Yeah.

01:02Something where you're better than the 13-yard line.

01:04Something where you're not at risk of giving them a chance to win the game.

01:06This is what.

01:07Which they did.

01:08This is what Sean Payton would have done.

01:10Right.

01:11Sean Payton would have just run the ball.

01:13And maybe you get the first down and even better.

01:14Yeah.

01:15Yeah.

01:15But they're just.

01:17But you give them an opportunity.

01:19You throw an incomplete pass.

01:21You throw a ball to a rookie who runs out of bounds.

01:24And you throw a third incomplete pass.

01:26And now Denver's got the ball.

01:27You ran 24 seconds off the clock.

01:30And Denver's got the ball with 50 seconds on their own 35-yard line.

01:33And all they got to do is get into field goal range.

01:35And they have two timeouts.

01:36They didn't even use their two timeouts.

01:37They used one just to set up a field goal.

01:39They were standing there at the end of the game waiting to call their final timeout.

01:43They're waiting for the clock to run down.

01:45Yeah.

01:45That was a.

01:45You know.

01:46And again.

01:46Horrific.
