NFL Doesn't Want to Talk About The Running Clock That Nearly Screwed the Steelers

Le'Veon Bell scored a touchdown as time expired to push the Steelers past the San Diego Chargers on Monday Night Football. Time ran out because somebody ran the clock from 2:56 down to 2:38 following a kickoff. Nobody noticed. Nothing was done to fix the clock. The game continued. The Steelers won. No big deal. OK? Nothing to see here. Just move on with your life. We’re not talking about this. Neither is the NFL.

NFL reportedly is declining comment on the 18-second clock error before the Steelers' final drive. #transparency

Of course, you could also argue that the Chargers lost out on a final possession… Not that the LOCAL clock operator would mind.

FYI, the clock operator is hired and paid by the League office. They are local people except in the playoffs when locals are not used.

If only the Patriots had been involved.
