Derrick Henry’s fumble last night late, will do nothing to dispel the thinking that the NFL is scripted.

Horse apples. No rational coach on earth would have done anything but hand the ball to King Henry for the final 10 minutes of the game, to run out the clock and enjoy the 15 point victory. He had 182 yds already and was averaging 9.5 yds any time he touched the ball. Had Harbaugh called up ANY other play, and a turnover resulted, the sporting world would have mocked him for a decade for going to anyone but Henry. You don't risk the MVP QB, you don't risk throwing the ball or stopping the clock, and RB2 Ali wasn't getting first downs. Henry was the proper choice.

Oh I know, it’s not scripted, but those who do think it is will be convinced it was.

Wish Billy Napier would have thought that way, instead of passing with 3 minutes left in the game, when they had a Running Back that was tearing through them.
