If you were watching the end of the Pats/Cowboys game , you - like me - may have been confused
? ......
(1) 0:44 left - 4th down Pats, leading by 4- clock running Cowboys w/o timeouts;
(2) Brady calls timeout w/ 0:02 left;
(3) clock resets to 0:05 without any announcement;
(4) Brady intentionally throws high pass way OOB;
(5) clock now shows 0:01;
(6) Cowboys don't connect.
Questions to those of NFL rule knowledge.....
(1) Why was the clock allowed to run by 40" without DOG?
(2) Why wasn't Brady's intentional grounding called intentional grounding?
(3) If it was, does NFL have the same as NCAA/NFHS and doesn't allow untimed down on LOD fouls?
(4) Could Coach B have instructed Team to all hold opponents, allowing Brady to just drop back several yards before knee?
