Sam Koch and the Ravens clever use of a rule to end Bengals game

Ravens take clever approach to seal game by holding
every Bengals player on safety
Eric Edholm,Shutdown Corner 13 hours ago

Baltimore Ravens punter Sam Koch took an intentional safety in a brilliant bit of coaching.

Back in punt formation, punter Sam Koch took the snap and started drifting backward as the Bengals rushed for an all-on block attempt. What did the Ravens do? They held every player on the field who could be held.

Think about it: Holding is not a dead-ball foul, and there is no untimed down after the penalty. LINK

Ha ha! That's awesome. Every Raven blocker wrapped up and held his guy for 11 seconds. Great video of it in that link.

That's how a good Harbaugh coaches. He takes advantage of the rules. He doesn't throw a tirade because of their enforcment.

That wouldn't work in a B1G conference game. None of the refs would throw a flag for holding.

Just so we are all on the same page here.... Le'ts give the real pat on the back to the refs for knowing how to do their job.

Oklahoma State tried to play within the rules earlier this season to win a game, and it cost them the game, thanks to the refs.

Former Husker and Omaha resident Clete Blakeman on the official ruling.

I know you are joking, but he can keep punting in the NFL for another 5+ years. Koch is one of the best punters in the league.

Ha, I thought you were going to say he can keep punting in the NFL for another 5+ years AND still do a better job than Read as ST coordinator for us.

My son is an aspiring punter/kicker (he's 10) and he has watched that Sam Koch video numerous times on YouTube. Koch has become somewhat of a celebrity in the punting community based on all the kicks he can perform.
