I was wondering also why just the play clock started, but the game clock didn't. That injury really mess with our clock management after that. Maybe I didn't see it right. I mean I was so jacked & nervous at that moment.

Bottom line we got the win again in a close game. Moving on to game 15. 😊

I thought the 25 swcind clock would start and Washington could take the clock down 0 and call a time out. Texas would only have 15 seconds left. Texas benefited by Washington's injury when they shouldn't have. They were out of time outs.

Agreed.....but how else could you handle it?

Let the clock run while getting the player off the field? If so......teams could/would fake injury at end of such games and milk time off the clock, or be slow to treat an actual injury.

Have an arbitrary 45-60 second click-off after injured player removed?

Just let the injured player lay there......and play on around him?

I just don't get that rule. When the player is off the field, the play clock should reset to 25 seconds and the game clock starts when the ball is set by the Ref and ready for play, if the play whas a running play or completed pass, both in-bounds, which was the case.

If there was no injury, the TX would have started deep in their own terrotory with about 15 seconds. Even with the injury TO, that drive should have started with around 25 seconds, both maybe less if the punt bounced and rolled around for a few more seconds.

But bad things happen on punts too.
