We got a bit lucky in this game too, the Buccs were driving at the end two points down. Mike Evans makes a catch for the Buccs but is injured, Bucs out of timeouts, requires 10 second runoff the clock, this ends the the game.
Can someone explain that, in English, please?
sorry.
The Rams are leading the Buccaneers 19-17 in the final minute
The Buccs are driving, needing a 3 point field goal to win
They are out of time outs, so cannot stop the clock
The following situations result in a 10-second game clock runoff if the team in possession of the ball is trailing or the game is tied and the team in possession of the ball has no timeouts remaining in that half.
If there are less than 11 seconds left in the half or game, the half or game is ended by such runoff.
Excessive timeouts due to injuries
One of the following six fouls is committed by the offense. Following the runoff, the game clock will resume again once the ball is set. The runoff can also occur if a team declines to use a timeout if it has timeouts remaining.
False start
Intentional grounding
Illegal forward pass beyond the line of scrimmage
Throwing a backwards pass out of bounds
Spiking or throwing the ball away after a down (unless after a touchdown)
Any other intentional act that causes the clock to stop
Here, the Buccs wide reciever Mike Evans suffered an injury as the Buccs were trying to get into field goal range.
Out of time outs, and right at the end of the game, the clock is reduced by ten seconds. The game here ended, the Buccs didn't get the chance to run another play and the Rams won
