Lutz and Morestead give encouragement to Cleveland kicker

I don’t get joy out of winning because of someone else’s failure. A win is a win and I will take it though.
That was pretty cutthroat of Payton to call him out like that by going for 2.
It’s one thing to call out another teams offense or defense but I have never heard of a coach icing a kicker for an EXTRA POINT that far in advance. He went for two knowing that kicker would be sweating the tying extra point.

He went for two because at that point in the game a single extra point means nothing. It had nothing to do with icing the kicker. You ALWAYS go for two there to attempt to go up by six which means a TD by itself cannot beat you.

Uh yeah, that's totally not the reason he went for two. Guido is correct on this one. And I'll take the win, but feel terrible for this kid.
