You refer to the prophecy of The Browns who will bring balance to the AFC.

Am I missing something? Are they all really this clueless as to how to play football?

If he's got a chance to get all the way (Looked like it was possible), he should have kept going, making it a 4 point game, instead of a two point game.

After the ball is intercepted, it's coming down to an onside kick, no matter what. However, with the small of of time remaining, getting 20 yards after the onside kick prior to a FG is a whole lot more likely than getting 60 yards for a TD in 10 seconds.

The clock doesn't run on the 2 point attempt, so the clock wasn't going to run out anyway.

If it was last years NFL rules, then yes, he should have gone down immediately.

Well that's one way to rattle him...

Quote:
To the three or four rushers the Denver Broncos sent careening toward Brady on any given down, the five men standing in front of them might as well have been rec league hoopers taking on the Golden State Warriors. Sebastian Vollmer, Marcus Cannon and company were given no more consideration than a quick step to the inside and a sprint around the corner. And the quarterback was subject to all manner of indignity in a 20-18 loss.'

“I tried to lay on him a few times,” said one Broncos rusher after the game. “I tried to rub my nuts on his face.”
