As bad as the refs were all game, I doubt they would of thrown a flag there. Heck, even if he was afraid of a targeting flag it would of only been 15 yards and they would of been right around mid field with 4 seconds left. Can't be afraid to make a play there.

With a stopped clock!

Tackle the WR and the clock runs out before they can kick the FG!

I agree, he should of just wrapped him up but if he was afraid of a targeting that call doesn't give them a game winning TD and they wouldn't of been in FG range with only 15 yards. Obviously the smart play was wrap up and drive him backwards. That ends the game.

You don't avoid PI by ducking your head and shoulder tackling. Great teaching tape to show exactly why you keep your head up and drive through the ball. Grrrr......
