Good catch, I had forgotten about that. I agree with you, but is it possible there was some scheme thing Baltimore saw and didn’t like? I know with SURPRISE onside kicks one idea is that you can kick it deep if the opponents seem prepared for the onside, but in a situation where you need to onside it for clock reasons you’re right that it seems weird to abort it.

That’s one decision that, along with Denver’s defensive TD-turned-touchback that would have got more attention had the game been closer.

Now there’s a puzzling play, ok here we go we’re gonna onside kick it… Psyche! Burned y’all there! Didn’t see that coming, did ya. What advantage does a team get by successfully executing a fake onside kick?
