I understand the intent here but their should be options around it. The Steelers should have been able to run clock after Najee is removed in that situation. If a team is possibly faking then thereshouldbe use a timeout or 15 second run off. All I know is Harris was legit injured and The Bungholes shouldn't have profited. Essentially Watt got injured because of the extra time.

i understand your point, but its a stretch to blame the rule on watts injury. We shouldnt have thrown it after the injury. make them use the TO and roll the dice. It was just a freak unfortunate injuryI understand the intent here but their should be options around it. The Steelers should have been able to run clock after Najee is removed in that situation.

Oh I agree totally. It's just unfortunate he was on the field at all. When they held on the goal line my initial feeling was they could almost take three knees give up a safety been up by 4 and free kicked with about 30 seconds left and no timeouts for Bungles. What transpired was just ridiculous. The pass was idiocy.i understand your point, but its a stretch to blame the rule on watts injury.

I guess it would be hard to judge intent in that situation. What if a guy is a really good actor? Although it really doesn't benefit the Steelers to even act injured in that situation.Oh I agree totally. It's just unfortunate he was on the field at all.

The pass...I know what you are saying. But I think they were trying to be aggressive there and try to end the game without the Bengals touching the ball at all. I see the thinking, but with the way they were passing the ball most of the day it didn't make much sense.
I guess point being Team A is leading. There is no situation where they are faking injury to stop clock.
