Been on both sides of this kind of thing. The losing team has nothing to complain about if they are still throwing passes trying to score. Article said two interceptions set up scores. That doesn't sound like the losing team was packing it in, so why should the winning team?

That makes sense, kind of like the run rule in baseball and softball. I have been on both ends of those scores, and it always sucked when it ended early.

I've been behind by sizeable amounts to far better teams a few times in my coaching life. I always tell a story I read in a book written by (I don't quite remember) either Chuck Bednarik or Sam Huff.
In the second half of a game, when losing by a ton, bednarik hits a guy, looks at him and starts laughing. The guy looks at him and snidely says,"why are you laughing so hard, look at the scoreboard!"

Bednarik looks at him and says, "yeah, we may lose, but I get to beat your ass for another 30 minutes."
