It didn’t hurt that the crowd starts booing after the first timeout. Anything

that can distract the kicker and get him thinking helps.

Ultimately I think Kalani was just trying to rest Corbin so he would have a chance to block it but the icing worked out well too.

I didn't notice the booing. The 30 or so of us wearing blue in our section were

Unless the kicker nails the kick......Then we would have been Broncoed!!!

Bronco would've wasted 1-2 timeouts on meaningless 3rd and 6 plays early in 3Q

Seemed like the team usually made a big play after those timeouts though.

If you think icing works, then not calling the third time out seems wise.

We're not used to high IQ decisions by head coaches when it comes to this game.

THERE IS NO EVIDENCE ICING THE KICKER WORKS.

There is no evidence that it does not work.

YES THERE IS.

There is no evidence that all caps is more convincing than non-all caps.

but they don't specifically mention if the non-iced kicks are with the game on

Good point. All "iced kicks" are presumably pressure kicks

Actually at this time it was total sudden death in OT so the game was always on

Only genius because he missed. There are plenty of makes when coaches try to ice

It's only genius if the kicker misses

I dont understand why people - include the announcers - questioned this
