If you want to run off a lot of clock at the end and you have to punt, you basically have free reign to do whatever you want to kill the clock. As a Raven you could kick all the Bengals players in the nards and stomp on their backs as long as you keep them from the ball. It's the ultimate in Armageddon.

Only one time.  They instituted a rule change a few weeks ago about commiting intentional holds at the end of a game to take off time, and you are allowed to do it one time without additional penalty.  The key is that it is an offensive penalty, so it doesn't provide an untimed down.  I actually expected the retreat for a safety, just not the holding.
