Penalties, coaching meltdowns, and defensive lapses—oh my! 😱 ByPatForde on the trend of close games marked by fourth-quarter horrors
There have been 67 one-score games thus far this season, which seems to be on par with most years. But it does seem like we’ve had an inordinate number of games in which defenses couldn’t hold leads, or the kicking game malfunctioned at crunch time, or penalty flags flew at an inopportune moment, or coaches temporarily took leave of their senses.. And sometimes even the winners are shaken to the core by how hard they tried to lose.on Saturday.
Bottom line: Even the veteran players are still young enough to do things that are hard to understand with the game on the line.
