Re: Cardinals kick field goal instead of going for TD, WTF!!!!
not sure what the rule is but Monday night Miami got flagged for the illegal forward pass with 2 seconds left in the game.
I thought if PIT accepted the penalty then the clock would wind down 10 seconds and be the end of the game or something like that. The annoucers hinted that they thought it was the end of the game too.
Instead, PIT declined the penalty. So it became just a regular incomplete pass I believe which stopped the clock and gave MIA another chance.
Obviously it didn't make a difference to the outcome of the game but technically it could have. And if PIT was aware that accepting the penalty meant the end of the game vs. giving MIA one more chance then it's obvious they would have accepted it.
And if it did not result in the end of the game then I have no idea why they wouldn't accept the penalty to march them back 10 more yards or whatever.
Just seemed like a really strange finish there.
