ESPN app takes you straight to the game

Go for 2 - win or lose
Go for 1 - tie or lose

You do it if they game is over. Too much time left to gamble

I don't agree with the call but here is the rule except and explanation.

Here’s the exact language from the NFL rulebook (Rule 8, Section 1):
When a player is in control of the ball and is attempting to pass it forward, any intentional forward movement of his hand starts a forward pass.
If contact by an opponent materially affects a passer after the passer begins his throwing motion, it is a forward pass if he passes the ball, regardless of where the ball strikes the ground, a player, an official, or anything else.
Officials (and replay) also have this clarifying language: if the quarterback begins his throwing motion and is then hit, causing the ball to go backward, it is still a forward pass. When the ball hits the ground, it becomes an incomplete pass (dead ball), not a live-ball fumble or backward pass.?

What a legendary quote.

Schmidt breaks down around 80 pitches. Glad to see the pull here.

Of course...

A 10 minute commercial at that.

quote:

---

1) A batter may not make a movement to intentionally get hit by the pitch,
regardless of the location of the pitch. The batter must also avoid being hit
whenever possible, unless the pitch is within the batter’s box occupied by
the batter. If the batter’s action is deemed intentional, then:
a) If the ball is in the strike zone when it touches the batter, or if the batter
moves to intentionally get hit or freezes to allow a pitch that is not
within the batter’s box to hit them, the ball is dead, it shall be called a
strike and the batter is not awarded first base.

This is the text directly from the rule book. The way I read it is if the batter freezes while outside the batters box and gets hit, it should be a dead ball and a strike.
