Why did they line up in punt formation on the last play?

I was stumped by that too. It had been pretty chippy in the last quarter so maybe they wanted different personnel on the field to try and avoid any needless confrontation.

I was perplexed by that also, but now I'm thinking they might have done it to put the ball in McCallum's hands to end the game, in honor of his 300th career game.

There were 17 seconds left after the last play. I think the Lions were prepared for Montreal to call a timeout, forcing a punt. I dodn't know if they had a timeout left. They had called one a few plays earlier.

Run the ball.

Good, solid anti blitz prep by JC. Being around as long as he has been, of course he knows how to do it. The question was whether he would do it.

The Als got two sacks, but it looked to me like we were very ready for their overloads at the LOS. Quick passes, et cetera.

We had Harris run 14 times. 68 yards. And we had some nice holes for him for a change.

I thought we had very good pressure on their QBs. 4 sacks and a lot of disruption.
