No guarantee either way. So what’s the point? Bleed the clock. Why try to be so fancy? I love that the Lions snapped the ball twice before the 2 minute warning in the red zone down 7 and it’s fine. This is a wild take.
What? The Lions ran 2 plays with a running clock before the 2 minute warning. The Bills would have had to use all their timeouts.
EDIT: regardless, there is no defense of not letting the running clock go to the 2 minute warning in the red zone.
