I completely agree that was a very bad call at a very bad time, but Coach Elder has always been an aggressive coach. I think he was going for the jugular, but it was not a play I would have called. They were marching down the field just fine at that point. Sad to say, but it’s the play that lost the game. Hoban was struggling a bit and that interception and score gave them new life and allowed them to play their game the rest of the way and eat clock.
Stefanski did the same thing yesterday and called a trick play reverse at a bad time and bad spot, only down by five points, and when it blew up the entire momentum of the game swung to the Broncos and they never gave it back. The game turned on that bad call.
