Strategically, it's obviously the right play. I can't fathom why they aren't doing it. It eliminates the possibility of injury too.

Because if you take 3 knees and punt, do you really trust your opponent to comply?

Big boy football doesn't work that way...but I'm still hoping for a tie.

The gallons of sweat pouring out of Pittsburgh right now is enormous

 

[Big D]

why did the raiders stop running?

 

[Playmaker3128]

Please follow up with a long fg drive lol. I wanna see the raiders get ball back and just take a knee

 

[Avery]

That’s a Greg Z special kick right there.

4th and 3.....I know what the Chargers coach is doing.....

 

[DasTex]

That same official just called Jones out of bounds after that catch. I understand it's just a short stoppage of the clock...but that wasn't even close.

Raiders FG Whew!

 

[Tim93gt]

Woof. Inches on that kick.

 

[Tabascocat]

How about a 7 minute drive followed by a FG here?

 

[Wezsh0T]

Wow...that FG just snuck in.

They have no incentive to do anything else.

I'm sure the league had a talking-to with these teams before the game.

I fully expect it

If the Chargers get close with time running out do they just play for a FG to make sure they get into the playoffs instead of risking an int?

 

[gmb1]

Chargers D did their job.

 

[okstateCowboy]

If the chargers can get a FG, there should be a gentleman’s agreement to run, run, run punt until time expires

They're risking a missed FG but if they get close enough, sure.

Don't know if my heart can stand it!
