We are trailing last night, 18-13, with about 8 minutes to go in the flag football game. Third down. Incomplete pass. But the ref decides to throw a flag on The Playmaker for lining up offsides. In five years of flag, we've never even seen a flag thrown. So after much confusion/debate, the other coach decides to "take" the penalty. That moves the ball back to our one yard line, but it also gives us our third down play over again. (Stupid move, coach.) Our second third down play results in another incompletion. Had the coach not taken the penalty, that would have been a turnover on downs.
Alas, he did take the penalty -- which gave us an extra play. And so on fourth down our QB takes the shotgun snap in his own end zone and rolls right. The Playmaker had started wide left and run a drag route across the field. He comes free along the right sideline and makes the catch 10 yards down field. He somehow eludes his defender and travels 10 more yards, giving us a first down. But he's not done/down. He continues motoring down the sideline and outraces one more defender to the end zone.
19-18. Cowboys win.
Woo! Hoo!
For the game, The Playmaker had 3 catches (including one on the final play where he was tackled one yard short of the end zone) and one interception on defense (his third of the season). We are now in second place with a record of 2-1.
