Up 35 to 17. 2nd and 4 with only 1:04 left. Opportune time for a kneel down, right?
No. Give the ball to your RB to ensure that your opponent goes down in history as the team that gave up the most yards by a running back in the history of the NFL.
Compare/contrast to what the Patriots were doing.

I have no problem with what the Pats are doing but this is not even similiar to the same thing. That team is not "ensuring their opponents go down as the team that is most rushed upon" they are ensuring their guy sets a cool record.
A flea flicker for a TD here would be way worse than running for a few yards.

I think you could argue that since working on your offense is much more important than individual records, then running a flea flicker would be "better".
also, what a lot of people didn't realize about Washington was that they run a similar cover 2 to the Colts. it was a good time for the Pats to practice against the defense they were to face the next week. apologies if this pissed Redskins off, but the Pats are just trying to do their best to prepare to beat future opponents.
