True, but defenses still used a strategy of committing penalties.The the 49'ers held the Saints last year to drain the clock in the 2 minute drill giving 5 yards for 20 seconds off the clock, that is why the clock resets with the yardage. The rule was also put in place for what the Ravens did to us last year where they all intentionally held to run out the clock then took the safety.
