Could someone provide a little info for me? I seem to remember a MNF game where it was late in the 4th quarter, the winning team was ahead by 3 and they had to punt deep in their own territory. The punt would have probably gave their advisary good field position and a good chance of at least kicking a field goal to tie. So they decided to take an intentional delay of game penalty followed by another. This pushed them back further until the ball was just in front of their own endzone. Howard was in the booth screaming that the coach was an idiot to do this; why intentionally take 2 delay of game penalties. The team then set up to punt but instead the kicker stepped out of the end zone for a touchback. The other team got 2 points but the kicking team got a free kick from the 30 yard line pinning their opponents back deep in their own territory and winning the game. Does anyone remember such a game?

I don't recall that particular one, but it sure sounds like something that Howard would have said.
