Dumb ****ing idea and I’ll explain why.
1 minute left in the game and the game is tied. Team X has the ball at midfield. Team X’s QB throws an interception deep down the field and the defender for Team Y is tackled at the 10 yard line. Team X has all three of their timeouts left.
On first down, Team Y gets called for holding and it is now first and 15 at the 5 yard line. The next three plays go like this: run up the middle for 3 yards, run to the outside for no gain, and incomplete pass. It is now 4th and 12 from the 8 yard line. Team Y’s choices are to go for it on 4th and 12 where there is a very low probability of converting and they essentially give Team X a chip shot field goal for the win or Team Y can punt and give Team X a one point lead and the win.
Team Y is basically punished for a great defensive play and Team X is rewarded for throwing an interception. Dumb, dumb, dumb.
