Cris Collinsworth is aware of soccer, and nobody would critically argue he doesn’t. The longtime Sunday Night time Soccer analyst is aware of the league in and out, and even owns the information firm Professional Soccer Focus.
However, Collinsworth made an enormous mistake on Sunday evening within the first Sunday Night time Soccer sport of the season between the Detroit Lions and Los Angeles Rams.
The primary SNF sport of the season was a improbable contest. After the Rams fell behind 17-3 on the street late within the 2nd quarter, they fought again. Ultimately, they took a 20-17 lead within the 4th quarter earlier than the Lions tied the sport with lower than a minute to go, sending the sport to additional time.
Final yr, the NFL modified the additional time guidelines for the NFL Playoffs, guaranteeing that every staff will get at the very least one possession, it doesn’t matter what occurs on the opening possession of additional time. However, the principles within the common season have largely stayed the identical since 2012. Each groups are assured a possession except the staff who has the ball first scores a gap landing.
For some cause, the previous NFL broad receiver thought that it was sudden-death from the beginning. Have a look.
Oh no, Cris. Fortunately for Detroit, they knew the principles. They ran the ball down the Rams’ throat on the opening drive of additional time and received the sport on a David Montgomery landing run, 26-20.
Which will have lined up Cris Collinsworth’s mistake to many, however a few of us received’t neglect.
