While Cliff Lee was dealing, fantasy owners across the country were hoping to squeeze a few more points out of [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] and Maurice Jones-Drew. [link widoczny dla zalogowanych]'s owners prayers were answered when [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] broke free for a 35-yard touchdown on fourth down with under two minutes remaining.
Titans coach Jeff Fisher indicated that it was largely ESPN's fault. The network still needed more television timeouts and apparently asked both coaching staffs to take timeouts late.

"Jack [Del Rio] used his timeouts," Fisher said after the game via Terry McCormick of Titans Insider. "My understanding is they needed network timeouts, and that's why Jack used his timeouts. They came over and asked me to do it, but I said, 'I was hoping to get a first down and kneel on it.'"
Jeff Fisher: ESPN asked coaches to take timeouts late on Monday night[/b]

"It's the first time I've heard of it," Fisher said about a network request for timeouts. "I just said I would have a hard time using them, because I'm ahead. Honestly,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], I have no issues with Jack or how he managed the end of that game. It's just what it was, and I don't think he would have an issue with me handing the ball off."
Of course, you can also thank Del Rio for actually listening. Fisher was happy to end the game at 23-3, but Del Rio didn't let him.
That led to some (silly) questions about why [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] was still in the game. Why were the Titans still trying to score?
