I think it's a calculated risk. We are racking up a good amount of points instead of punts. If one td Squeezes through for every 15 points... that is a good net gain.
I think it was for no yards for 15, until they confirmed that the loins player (Mcginnus?) was lined up behind the kicker to make him eligible for an onside kick and no penalty was awarded.
You are mistaken. That is a desirable and delicious cut of meat...
They are more the bitter, chewy stringy bottom loin. Or actually the way they showed last night... a skirt steak if you will.
