That's the only reasonable explanation. Totally insane. The whole clock management for the last minute of that game was below middle-school football standards. They had time to take the timeout, and try for a quick slant pass to get a few yards to make the FG easier. At the very least, if you're going to spike the ball to stop the clock, that makes the timeout pointless. Fail, fail, fail, fail.
Yep. I might be mistaken but I thought they had 2 timeouts too. They were asking a whole lot of a rookie kicker to make such long kicks. It's outside of his comfort zone. He's money closer, mid 40s, but 50+ yarder to win the game, and doing it twice... just bad coaching and they should have gotten him closer.
