what was the Steelers strategy with those repetitive neutral zone infractions on that last extra-point kick? just being stupid for the helluvit?

Selling out in hopes of a block.

Selling out in hopes of a block.

This trying to time properly to get the block, nothing new. And after the second one they got the warning and stopped. Granted it seems silly but at that point nothing else to lose.

Big win for the Cowboys.

Desperately trying to time the snap to block the kick.

I thought there was some deeper thinking strategy, like repetitive "half the distance to the goal line" penalties, then Cowboys decide to go for 2, and better odds, fail, fancy follow-on game-play, or something like that.

okay, nothing deep and tantric, just "nothing to lose" desperation. got it.

I thought they'd ignore the warning and try again. Blocking that point meant 35 yards to a game winning attempt FG.

yep...this play i called out.
Then a series later, Cee Dee got pissed at Dak, and Dak said he'd do it with or without #88.

this is how I saw last night. Could be wrong.
