For the second time this year, we draw an offsides on the defense, and instead of taking the free play, Maynard takes a knee.

On TV I could not tell if there was contact, but even if there was, why take a knee. The refs may blow the play dead, but don't take a knee, go for a big play.

Apparently they're coached to do so.

I'm too angry to get in the discussion, but just for informational purposes, the ref said there was contact.
