So what happens if in OT, the team that receives the ball takes the entire amount of time to go down the field and kick a FG. If they make the FG with time expiring, doesn't it mean the other team never got a possession? I was just asking this question. The rule was the other team gets a possession unless a TD is scored. So if they didn’t get a possession wouldn’t that break the nfl rules? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the rule states both teams will possess the football unless the team scores a touchdown. Which if they get a field goal they didn’t.

That is why I was trying to scan over the rules on the NFL website to see about any possible exceptions to the rule about both teams getting a possession. The only thing I could find semi-related is that if you start out on defense and get a safety, that subs in for your possession/points so if the team scores a FG on ensuring drive, they win still. I couldn't find any exceptions about time expiring after only a single possession. I assume by default it means Team A wins, but I had just expected to see that explicitly said in the rules and I couldn't find it.

If there is a safety, the game’s over right? Team A has the ball. Team B tackles them in the endzone. Safety. Team B is up by two. Team A has had a possession. Team A would then free kick to Team B. But Team B is winning. Wouldn’t the game be over? 2 minutes ago, clietas said: Andre Roberts 🤣 Surprised he's still around honestly.

Wouldn’t the game be over? Team A loses on safety as both team technically had the ball. Team A turned it over resulting in a score. Like a pick 6. The question is about if A gets the ball and holds it the entire time without scoring a TD shouldn’t B get a chance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rufus T Firefly Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 Ridiculous flop on uncatchable ball and the refs hand them the ball at the 1 for an easy TD. Terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voice_of_Reason Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 I turned the game on for about 5 plays and saw Carr throw 3 passes, just quick darts to guys about 10 yards down the field, and thought “there is just no way TH could make any of those passes. You can’t even call the play” And I don’t think Carr has a huge arm. It’s above average but not a cannon. The comparison was just so stark. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you watch the whole video there are quite a few darts TH throws. Edited January 10, 2022 by zskins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooleyfan1993 Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 Lmaooo. My family is friends with this Steelers fan couple, and as the Chargers were getting ready to attempt the FG, my dad says we should text them and say “ooooh, a tie game, getting worried???” And I’m like uhhh....it’s Dustin Hopkins, hold off on sending that text 😂 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to factor in risk/reward as well. Even if you convert, you're still at your own 25 yard line. And if you don't, you're guaranteed giving up points. Its just bad value. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
