For those who are defending Chubb - do you think Damien Williams should have run out of bounds in the Super Bowl?

At least Cleveland was leading the game when he did it. My school had a RB pull this stunt at the end of a game Saturday while we were still trailing. Fortunately our kicker made the FG to win the game as time expired, but it was one of those situations that could have easily backfired on us.

It would be almost impossible to repeat that with the new changes. |

The Broncos' 2nd to last drive started with 2:27 left on the clock. Chubb would have scored with 1:07 on the clock. HUGE difference. |

The point is that Cleveland would have scored a TD with 1:07 left.
At that point, they are kicking off. The most likely scenario is they have to drive 40 or so yards, kick a FG, and then recover an onside kick. At that point, they have to drive 50 yards for a TD and PAT for the tie or 2 point conversion for the outright win. The 2-point conversion obviously adds even more difficulty. A kick return TD to start the sequence would make it infinitely easier but that's extremely rare. Any number of other scenarios are almost statistically impossible, like recovering two onside kicks, back to back. The Browns weren't losing that game had Chubb scored. It just wasn't going to happen. |

No one's arguing that it wouldn't be incredibly improbable. I'm just arguing that going out of bounds there made losing the game equally improbable (probably even less so) and reduced chances of fluke injuries at the end of the game.

I just hate the mentality. It's pure Martyball. When you pass up points like that, you invite bad things to happen. It's almost karmic.
