   a bunch of boneheaded moves, including running Johnson over and over, at 2 yds   
   a pop, resulting in field goals when a touchdown would have put the game out   
   of reach. If they were going to run him at the end of the game they could have   
   taken a knee with    
   the same result and run off another 40 seconds but lost that when he got hurt.
