This is why I hate the prevent-win defense. Atlanta didn't need 31 seconds; they just needed 18 seconds to go 41 yards, call a time out and kick a field goal. You'd think that they would have learned their lesson the first time around, but apparently not.
It was the first weekend in December, and Seattle was in Chicago. With Seattle scoring a touchdown, they had the game in the bag with just 24 seconds left. They went into prevent defense, and Chicago came back 58 yards in 21 seconds, called a time out and kicked a field goal.
In both cases, Seattle went into prevent-win defense, and more notably, both times they were successful in giving up over 40 yards and a field goal in about 20 seconds.
Talk about snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.
