the point of the kneel down is that it keeps the clock running to end the game. running off the field after doing so would be just like making a substitution, even if he went out the endzone holding the ball and there was still time on the clock, because the play was dead.

unless i'm mistaken about the sequence of events and there wasn't a kneel down or any other action to end the play.

But Joe didn't just "run off the field" (his sideline) he ran straight out of the back of his own endzone....lol whatevs...just means cowgirls after all these years = suckerrrrs!
