The end of half sequence is the exact kind of thing MLF routinely screws up. The Rams clearly ran 3 plays that served no purpose other than ensuring the last play was the field goal. If something was there, fine, but really only the 1st down throw was a real attempt.
LaFleur would have sent the FG team out with 19 seconds left because he's out of timeouts and then given the 3 right back after a 40 yard return.
Maybe not. Maybe I'm bitter.
