Poor Clock Management By Both The Lions and The Bucs

1:33 after the pick.

1st down…..play takes 3 seconds, TO Bucs.

2nd down, 1:30 on clock….play takes 3 seconds, clock runs 40 seconds before next play. That’s 43 seconds.

3rd down. :47 on clock. …play takes 3 seconds….play clock runs down 40. Another :43 seconds.

4th down, :04 on clock…..Punt the ball deep through the end zone…..time expires on punt.

But this isn’t what happened. Not sure I follow your point here.

Bottom line is Detroit took a kneel down on third down with plenty of time left for several offensive snaps, and Tampa willingly chose to take their final timeout into the off-season.
