Just take the last game. With 6 seconds left, up by 3 points, Washington is going to run one more play from inside the 10 yard line. You tell the defensive backs to grab the WRs. Hold them. Take the penalty. I've seen teams do this before. Make Washington choose between a FG or TD, not both.

What astounds me about McCarthy is that this has been a major weak spot for him & he still hasn't taught himself how to manage tight game under 2:00. He's been a head man way too long to still struggle in this area. I get it if you are just starting your 1st HC job & haven't been called on to make decisions in those moments. But it wouldn't take me long to get up to speed knowing that could be the diff between a win & a pink slip.
