Huh, good arm on the challenge flag. Maybe the head coach should pad up and try his luck at QB.

Kinda feels weird that Intentional Grounding penalties are... not penalties, really.

In lieu of getting buried under a few hundred pounds of defensive linemen, losing a huge amount of yardage and losing a down... they lose basically that same amount of yardage and the down.

Why wouldn't you try to intentionally ground the ball every single time if there's no other penalty? Or maybe that's the point, to not discourage QBs from risking an intentional grounding penalty instead of getting turned into a painful pile of ground beef?

Kinda wonder if he'll get a gentle talk in the next few days about how, technically speaking, it'd be better for the team's win percentage to go down at like the 5 yard line.

It's a difference between a 99.99999% chance to win and a 99.5% chance to win, sure, but still! :D

Right or wrong, I do like the level of that explanation, not just the base facts but the full info on why they made the call they did.
