Miami coach Mike McDaniel was content with his team's 70-20 shellacking of Sean Payton's Denver Broncos and decided against a chip shot field goal that would have allowed the Dolphins to break the NFL record for most points scored in a game.
Fins fans wanted the record, loudly voicing their displeasure that the Dolphins didn’t match the all-time NFL record established by the Chicago Bears in their 73-0 wipeout of Washington in the 1940 championship.
The Raiders had all of their timeouts plus the 2-minute warning to work with after Daniel Carlson’s 26-yard field goal made it a five-point game with 2:22 remaining. And Las Vegas’ defense had produced a pair of three-and-outs on Pittsburgh’s previous two drives. Had they gone for it on fourth down and scored, they could have even missed the 2-point conversion and still had a shot at a long field goal from midfield to win it.was adopted in 1994, the Raiders were the only team to attempt a field goal in the final three minutes of the fourth quarter when trailing by exactly eight points with fewer than 5 yards to go for the first down, according to OptaSTATS.
McDaniels was less defiant over his decision Monday, saying, “It’s fair to to to be critical of it. I’m not saying I would do it different, but I understand both sides. That’s what I was going through in my mind, too, is trying to evaluate both scenarios. ... It had nothing to do with not believing we had a play that would work or whatever.”
