re: Am I the only one that thinks the NFL handled the injury nearly flawlessly last night?

Also, the NFL said it never issued that "take a 5 minute break before resuming play" direction, so I'm not sure where that came from.

Likely some dumbass ESPN producer feeding that to Joe Buck off of an assumption or second hand knowledge. Or joe is a complete idiot and assumed that himself.
So much of the outrage is basically just ESPN fanning flames assuredly for cable news ratings rather than just staying calm and reporting what’s happening. But they’d much rather report outrage to us and demanded we all follow suit.

Joe Buck said it several times and saying they were told by the league. I doubt Joe is in direct contact with a league official while in the booth, but an ESPN production person may be. Joe is a veteran at this so I doubt he knowingly spouts off bad info, but it’s likely that there was some misunderstanding between Joe, the production and the league. I think the most sensible scenario is that the refs or an on-site league official, perhaps at the behest of the coaches, said let’s take 5 to get our bearings, assess the situation and probably get on the horn with the head office until we can figure out what the F to do.
