What is the purpose of the 10 Second Run off rule in the NFL?

Yesterday during the Cowboy Chiefs there was a motion penalty with 50 seconds left against the Chiefs. They had no time outs left. They were penalized the 5 yards plus a 10 second run off. What is the purpose of that rule?

so you don't commit a penalty on purpose to save clock time

Prevent teams with no timeouts left to purposely stop the clock.

To prevent teams from gaining an unfair advantage by intentionally committing certain penalties to stop the clock

Personally I think 10 is a touch too much. Should be like 7 seconds, but of course thats not a round number. Doesn't sound like much of a difference, but I've seen teams get screwed on refs mistake because of it.

The rule makes sense. However, it will fricks some teams because, like many NFL rules, it keeps officials from using their discretion and common sense.
