However, counter to conventional wisdom, using an offensive timeout during the final drive of the game extends the time it takes to reach field goal range by 22 seconds. On the other hand, the mere availability of an offensive timeout decreases the time it takes to reach field goal range ...
That was followed by Tomlin inserting Justin Fields in the game to throw off the Ravens’ defense, which still had timeouts. Fields nearly iced the game on a run, but he began his slide before the first down marker. Eventually, the Steelers killed the clock to pick up the signature 18–...
Current Rams head coach, Sean McVay, leads all coaches with 2.9 unnecessary timeouts per game (1.5 on offense, 1.2 on defense, and 0.2 in missed challenges), with Packers coach Matt LaFleur (2.9) and Saints coach Sean Payton (2.8) right behind. First-year head coaches Arthur Smith of the...
Before Sunday, the Broncos were allowing 33.3 points and 440.3 yards per game -- both most in the NFL. Yet the Packers couldn't muster any offense (100 meaningless yards in the first half) until the third quarter, and they needed some trickery (see below) to finally do it. ...
Houston could've elected to begin Indy's expulsion of timeouts but went ahead and dialed up a perfect play. Ryans' aggressiveness didn't always work out (failed two-point conversion in second quarter), but his late-game actions were essential in this one. Miscues, lack of run game doom...

The Chicago Bears, in a prime Thanksgiving timeslot just a few weeks ago, dawdled as the final seconds of a game withered away, much to the horror of people who remembered when knowing how to use timeouts or being aware of a game situation was a prerequisite for competing at this level...
This was entirely the fault of the Cowboys, from the risky playcall with no timeouts remaining to Prescott's inability to hand the ball to an official. Kemp and his crew did exactly what they would be expected to do. Delay of game trying to catch the Niners off guard ...

Carr and the Saints are the exception, with the 128 offensive touchdowns down 54 from the first two weeks in 2020 and tied for the second fewest in the last 18 seasons. The 193.6 net yards passing per game are the fewest through two weeks since 1996 (188.3...
