Right at the end of the 1st half of the Titans game, Titans ball.  Forget the down and distance but they  five, six, seven seconds left, driving for  FG.

Instead of going ahead and attempting the FG, they run a play, a very quick slant for about five yards.  I think it went to Decker.  They call an immediate timeout, kick the FG.  It was kind of a long attempt, and without the extra five yards, he misses.

With the amount of time they had left, they could never go more than four, five yards downfield.  How do we D it up?  Five yard cushion.  Nutshell.

Yep, that's the "Marin ball" we've all come to loathe and despise.  He'd rather concede the FG, thinking that he's protecting from the big score, rather than just going balls-out to leave the opponent with nothing.
