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.
I agree it was a smart challenge, but to give the officials some credit, that was an impressive spot considering the official was ten yards away when the tackle was made, and he was spot on.
