Was talking to a guy at work and he said the same thing. But, I can't recall having ever witnessed a player with an open path to the end zone doing a slide or flop at the one yard line, at any level of football. Not to say it hasn't happened somewhere at sometime, but it'd have to be a pretty rare occurrence.
The opportunities to burn time (letting the play clock run down, staying in bounds) were already lost by the time Mixon was handed that ball. He had to finish it off, so I cant blame him.
