The Pats, and many other teams have done this against Indy for about five years.UNHWildCats wrote:San Diego was doing the same thing Sunday vs New England.
It'll be interesting to see if the competition committee develops a solution to this... like if you go down, you're out for the drive...

That was when the rule was implemented that if you were down you had to come out for one down... but in this era of frequent substitutions - it's lost some teeth.Rob Iola wrote:Nothing new here - they used to do it against the Buffalo Bills back in the Jim Kelly days...
