Mike Vrabels genius coaching move helps Titans save time and remain undefeated

During the ' win over the on Sunday, a move by Mike Vrabel proved to be the difference between winning and losing when he used an NFL rules loophole to give his team extra time. With the Titans on defense and trailing by a point with 3:05 left, Vrabel intentionally sent one too many players on the field as the Texans faced second-and-1 from the Titans' 25-yard-line. While the penalty Allen Craig Jersey gave the Texans a fresh set of downs, it also saved about 40 seconds on the game clock.The time saved paid off handsomely for Vrabel and his team. The coach expected the Texans would score on the drive anyway, and while the Texans did increase their lead to seven points shortly after the penalty (they failed on a 2-point conversion attempt), the Titans had just enough time to score the game-tying touchdown when connected with A.J. Brown with four seconds left. The Titans then went on to win the game in overtime while improving to 5-0.Mike Manuel Margot Jersey Vrabel is outstanding1. he rushes in 46 late (12th man on D)2. 33 is WTF3. penalty for 12men4.
