Did anyone watch the Cowboys vs Eagles game? As time was running down, the Eagles, with a slight lead, handed the ball off to Westbrook and he ran about 25 yards, stopped on the 1 yard line and downed the ball to let the time run down. One of the O linemen came up with the idea and Westbrook executed it. Anyway, I lost my fantasy football league because he didn't run in for a TD but it was worth it because I thought that was a really cool move on the Eagles part.
Did anyone else watch that?

Yeah, that was pretty selfless and amazing. I'm pretty sure they'd have won anyway being up by 2 scores... but when he went down, that ensured it. Two thumbs up!
Reminds of when a MLB left fielder (Bonds?) purposely dropped a foul ball at the warning track with one out and a man on third. The game was tied in the ninth inning, I think.
Very smart, and very non-instinctual just like Westbrook. Must feel weird to do something like that.

"I got a stern talking-to by Runyan right before that play," Westbrook said after the game. "He said, 'Listen, if you're down to the 1, take a knee."
Westbrook didn't know if it was a good idea, but Runyan did.
"He was like, 'Take a knee, Westbrook, take a knee.' "
"I looked back and I saw all 6-7 or 6-8 of him running toward me saying, 'Get down," Westbrook said.
"So, I got down."
