Mohamed Sanu Jersey
For all the dumb things the Giants did down the stretch on Monday night as they tried to erase an 11-point deficit Authentic Deion Jones Jersey , they did something smart after scoring a touchdown while down by 14 earlier in the fourth quarter: They went for two.Far more amazing than the decision from Giants coach Pat Shurmur to try to cut the score from 20-12 to 20-14 was the fact that every member of the ESPN announcing crew had no idea that the reason for going for two had nothing to do with the kicker possibly being injured or Shurmur pulling the idea out of thin air and/or his butt. Little more than two weeks ago, Eagles coach Doug Pederson did the exact same thing, and the issue became framed, dissected, and fully explained.MDS wrote the article at PFT. In lieu of cutting and paste our own content (after all, we only cut and paste content generated by others), here’s the link.It’s a simple exercise in analytics, and it’s somewhat amazing that it took the NFL’s teams nearly 25 years to realize that the smart play while down 14 late after scoring a touchdown is indeed to go for two.The logic is simple. If you kick the extra point (which is no longer a gimme), you’re still down by seven. So if you score another touchdown (and kick the extra point), you go to overtime. If you go for two and make it, another touchdown plus an extra point delivers a potential win in regulation. If you go for two and fail, you can still force overtime by scoring again and going for two.The broader goal is to avoid overtime, where victory is a 50-50 proposition that hinges in many respects on winning the 50-50 coin toss. Overtime also adds wear and tear to the players Youth Jake Matthews Jersey , which becomes more of a problem when playing another game on a short week.Bottom line: The numbers favor the approach. And that’s why Shurmur did it. If the Eagles hadn’t done it 15 days ago, the level of confusion from Joe Tessitore, Jason Witten, and Booger McFarland would have been understandable. Post-Eagles, there’s no reason to be confused as to why a team that scores a touchdown while down 14 points goes for two.It’s one thing to have a different opinion, even if the statistics don’t support it. It’s quite another to be clueless as to why a team would go for two in that spot.Moving forward, here’s hoping that more media and fans will understand why it happens when it happens. Although Shurmur deserves plenty of criticism for how he handled the game after that point, he shouldn’t be criticized for going for two. It’s a strategy founded in analytics, and it’s something that more teams should do.Maybe as more teams do it, more media and fans will understand why. Now that it’s happened twice this month, hopefully the announcers won’t act like they’ve just seen a three-eyed fish the next time it occurs. Though Lewis Hamilton has already secured the Drivers’ Championship, the Constructors’ Championship is still up for grabs going into the penultimate race of the 2018 season: the Formula One Brazilian Grand Prix from Aut贸dromo Jos茅 Carlos Pace in S茫o Paulo. The race is set for Sunday at 12 p.m. ET on ESPN2 (live streaming via WatchESPN, ESPN App http://www.falconsauthorizedshops.com/au...ack-jersey , F1 TV Pro).Hamilton will also start on pole for Sunday’s race, after a record-setting qualifying lap time of 1:07.281. He was involved in some drama, along with his primary rival this season, Sebastian Vettel of Ferrari. Hamilton had an incident in which he forced Sergiy Sirotkin off the track while trying to move out of the way after Sirotkin was already doing so. Both drivers lost a lot of time at that point.“And for Lewis it was a misunderstanding, he tried to get out of the way whilst thinking that somebody was on a quick lap and wasn’t flagged to him,” Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff said. “It could have ended up in an accident but it didn’t. So for me, a non-issue.”Vettel impatiently drove his car onto and then off of the scales during the second qualifying session, which is against protocol and also damaged the scale in the process. The rain was starting to pick up at the time and it’s understandable that Vettel would be annoyed at being called in for a weigh-in.“They shouldn’t call us when the conditions are like that, I think it’s unfair if somebody gets called in,” Vettel said. “I wanted them to hurry up.”Both drivers avoided grid penalties for the incidents, though Vettel was reprimanded and issued a fine. Vettel will start second on the grid behind Hamilton.Valtteri Bottas of Mercedes and Kimi Raikkone of Ferrari occupy the second row, in that order. Max Verstappen of Red Bull starts fifth, while Daniel Ricciardo Mohamed Sanu Jersey , his teammate, will start 11th after a five-place grid penalty for engine changes.After Verstappen is Marcus Ericsson of Sauber, out-qualifying his teammate, Charles Leclerc, which has been a rarity this season.Romain Grosjean of Haas, Pierre Gasly of Toro Rosso and Kevin Magnussen of Haas round out the remainder of the Top 10.Below is all you need to know to watch the action, and below that is the full starting grid from Sunday.How to watch the 2018 F1 Brazilian Grand PrixDate: Sunday, Nov. 11Location: S茫o PauloTime: 12 p.m. ETTV: ESPN2Online Streaming: WatchESPN, ESPN App, F1 TV Pro2018 F1 Brazilian Grand Prix Starting GridPositionDriverTeamTimePositionDriverTeamTime
