Last two possessions of the game were 2min drill.
15 normal 1st down plays in the game (ie – not 2min drill, not 1st and 20, etc). 8 plays were runs, 5 of them between the tackles. Only two of those runs went over 2 yards. Change things up, maybe? I’ll have to look up some more stats when I have time, but the plays where they passed on 1st down, it was very obvious they were going to pass.
