NFL Rules

I'm confused. With 7+ minutes in the game, Burrow throws to Yoshi and Yoshi ran out of bounds. Why did the clock continue to run?

There was also another play I think right  before that where the player ran out of bounds, and the clock continues to run. What gives?

If it was in the last 5 minutes of the second half it would have stopped.

Only when inside 5 minutes, with only a few exceptions. Games would be epically long, if not.

Within the last 5 minutes? Has it always been this way? If not, when did it change?

The rule changed many years ago. As well as shorter half times. 

Dopy NFL commissioner wanted the games to go quicker.

What about the fans who wanted to go to the bathroom or get a bite and drink?

OK. So I'm not crazy after all (debatable).

Not crazy, just years behind on noticing and processing information.
