That might have been so in the early 1980s but in 2002, the NFL changed their tie-breaking rules which basically means that a team taking a knee when they have opportunity to score more points may be screwing themselves out of home field advantage in the playoffs later on down the road.

I will give that point. Good point.

But the bottom line is that there is really no such thing as "running up the score" in pro football.

I do not agree - but your statement is not "incorrect" - there is value in class - if you are up by two or three scores late in the game, you gain nothing by running up more score - although this is a fine detail and very rarely an issue.

In all aspects of life - class is always valuable
