Yeah, you probably need to take a timeout on the play before Henry ran out of bounds. But if you do that, what are the chances Tennessee runs OOB on second down? Or throws the ball on third down?
And given that kicker was 0-3 on FG, plus a missed PAT, it's not crazy to want to encourage the other side to have that guy try and beat you. But here's my real complaint: if you're going to let that much game clock expire before the other side tries the FG, don't you burn a TO to ice the guy?
For whatever reason, the end game I didn't find THAT egregious. 2 TOs and 17 seconds gives you 2-3 plays, including using the middle of the field, to possibly line up for 60-yarder. (In Denver, that's makeable). The first down INC made the second TO superfluous, but they would have needed it had the pass been completed.
