Re: Kicking game-winning FG on 3rd down... Just in case
As mentioned this has actually happened a few times. I assume OP was watching Vikings-Giants this afternoon. Games tied, the Vikings have a 3rd down with 19 seconds left an no timeouts and decide to throw a pass.
The announcer says why are they risking throwing a pass? If they catch it in bounds the games over. Than announcer suggests kicking it on third down.
Guess what a bad snap on third down and the clock runs out too. So the advantage of kicking on third down was negated in this situation. Can we just put a moratorium on stupid announcers?
