Unless you have an all-time special returner, I don't get why teams ever return a kick caught in end-zone with the touchback going to the 25. It's rarely ever worth it.

Rodgers and a full 2 minutes, and he was worried about getting the ball out a few more yards? Gonna be a long flight back for him

McVay’s decision to play for the field goal was Garrett levels of stupid. But Ty Monty was like, hold my beer.

Playing hit the road jack when an injured player for the other team is walking off the field.

oook rams

McVay is looking very human this week.

Situational football......coaching matters!

Because they are athletes not rocket surgeons.

Gurley is a monster

 

[Doomsday]

What does it matter if he scores there would be up 2 scores.

 

[StylisticS]

Extremely smart Gurley

 

[gmb1]

Aww I love smart players! I wish we had that!

 

[Jake]

Shades of Brian Westbrook at Texas Stadium. Could've scored, but put his team first because the clock would run out if he went down. Smart play by Gurley.

His fantasy owners may disagree.

 

[Texasfootball21]

Great game...

 

[gmoney112]

Gurley fantasy owners heartbroken.

Exactly. That wasn’t as smart as it seemed.

 

[PA Cowboy Fan]

How you feel AARON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?

 

[Rockport]

Yeah but it's setting up for another Rodgers miracle finish if the Rams score on this next drive. Probably be 2:00 left.. Just enough

See. NEVER GIVE UP.

 

[Alexander]

Gurley is a smart, well coached player.

I think the idea is that the goal is to win, not be up two scores. Extending the game just opens the door to weirdness, regardless of how long the odds are.
