Opinion: 'Finally, an NFL controversy worth arguing about: Should you just let the other team score?'
The Bills' lousy first half of play had me thinking I would be spending this afternoon writing about Sophocles's contribution to political theory, or maybe going for 800 words on how tiresome partisan liberal editorial writers are when they savage the Supreme Court just because they hate judicial decisions that don't go their way.
The Bills, on the road in Baltimore, had scored 17 unanswered points in the second half. The game was tied at 20. Late in the fourth quarter, the Bills' defense staged a goal-line stand after Ravens coach John Harbaugh inexplicably had his team go for it on fourth and goal. And then, this is where things got a bit crazy. With 1 minute, 43 seconds left in the game, Bills running back Devin Singletary tried to take it in — or at least that's how it seemed — from about the 11-yard line. According to Ravens coach Harbaugh, the plan was actually to let Singletary into the endzone so that the Ravens would get the ball back with enough time for a quick drive to tie it up and send the game to overtime.
This resulted in a Bills' second down. Rather than push into the endzone, Allen very deliberately carried the ball as far as he had to in order to get the first down, then went to the ground.
