It's crazy that two coaches have now done that same stupid move on the Lions this year in Ford Field. Washington in week two and now Minnesota today. I just don't understand the logic.
After Minnesota stood around with a thumb in their ass, they substituted and the rules provide that the defense is allowed to substitute as well at that point - whether there are 35 seconds on the play clock or 5.
Even accuracy aside, Badgley's range is what - 50? His long this season is 53 and he hasn't made anything from beyond 53 since 2018. I don't want to have to go for it or punt on the opponent's 40 in a playoff game.
