we are faking injuries before the 2 minute warning.

on that second to last drive for CHI, Takeo took a knee, waved off the sideline help and got the free injury TO.

i'm pretty sure i saw a few of these during the IND game too. leave it to me notice this.

thoughts?

Just a little off topic, but Jennings used to pull that kind of s**t when he played for us, except he wasnt faking. He' be thrashing on the ground like he broke a leg, only to find out it was a broken fingernail. He almost cost us a game against Seattle cause the injury TO gave Seattle another play to win the game.....

f**kin glassman.........

I thought that if you had a Timeout and didn't use it, and your staff came out, you were charged a T.O. Perhaps not?

Spikes is done with a hammy injury. Looks like he wasn't faking.
