Next Super Bowl

[Rockport]

NFC team is up by 1 pt with 5.39 left in the game and they’ve just received the kickoff at the 25 yard line after a touchback. What does the OC do to run out the clock?

 

[JoeKing]

Run the ball. This is where a great ground can win you a game, just keep the chains moving.

 

[plasticman]

They hand the ball off to Rico and Zeke and run out the clock against an already fatigued defense.

He was talking about the Superbowl... Rico and Zeke will be watching TV.

Wow, I bet you are a Santa-hater too, probably doesn't even believe in him.

This, and I put horses' heads under people's bedsheets.

 

[Kevinicus]

Depends on the teams. Timeouts?

Strictly running can mean a quick 3 and out.

Mobile QB, or a QB that can run a little, play action QB draw and see if you can pick up 2 or 3 positive yards.

Immobile QB, like Aaron Rodgers or Purdy, run it. Take some time off and see what positive yards you can get.

I still think the play that won the Chiefs the Super Bowl was when Mahomes kept it and scrambled up the middle for about 10 yards. That was such a clutch momentum play.

Play action and make it a eight point game.

 

[Zekeats]

So we cut Rico and Zeke and KC claimed them both?

 

[Flamma]

Just do what you would do in an NFCCG with 4:22 left. Deep slant to the weak side WR.

That was a key play but also don’t forget how Pacheco ran the ball in that last drive.

They’re already up by 1. They just need to run out the clock and win the game.

Horrible coaching.

The scenario was this is the Super Bowl so it's a team who can run the ball.

 

[Flamma]

Play action and make it a eight point game.

If you do that, might as well go for 2 and end the game. Up by 7 or 8 is still a one score game.

In my example they were up by 4, I just neglected to mention that.

Up by 1 with over 5 minutes left, you have to get first downs. At least two of them, maybe three if they have first downs. Try one run, if it gets stuffed, you have to pass the ball. If you get 5-7 yards, keep doing it.

So give up after 1 run? If you have a better than average running game, you run out the clock. You might have to sprinkle in a pass every now and then, but a good running game can run out the clock.

Horrible coaching.

I'm honored you think so

Well sure. But every team knows this. If you get 1 yard, or no gain, you can't afford to run into the line again. Or you could be looking at a 3rd and long and giving them the ball back with plenty of time left. They won't be running the ball.

Watch this short video. The Jets miss an extra point to tie with 2:30 to go. Score is 17-16. That's where this video ends. What you don't see are the Jets run the ball 3 times into the line, punt it to Miami, and proceed to lose when Miami kicks a FG.

I understand what you're saying. But with over 5 minutes left, you have to get first downs.
