JSO just isn't paying attention. They got two first downs out of that drive, one on a completion and the other on a penalty while throwing. If not for that the Packers have MORE time on the clock than 2:04 when they get the ball back and better field position.

The Philbin quote spells this out quite explicitly: Cover 0, 8 or 9 man box. Running into that would get you a first down only by accident. With two timeouts left, Packers would have lost just one minute of game time or thereabouts, so running with no first down gets you nothing.

If I was a Dolphins fan, my only bellyache would be the pass Clay knocked down on second down after the penalty first down. Could have taken another 40 seconds off the clock, but hindsight is 20-20. Without the other first downs, 1 or 2 more run plays don't matter.
