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

Couldn't they just call the penalty and run the clock on the ready to play?

Nah, because then you could run out different personnel and whatnot during the downtime while the penalty is called.

That would give offense time to get set.

I think the runoff helps to prevent coaches with the play calling thought process.

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.

Maybe make the rule that no subs are allowed. Or make the runoff 5 seconds or so. 10 is absurd

They would still be able to compose themselves, talk to their coach, get a new play in, etc. 8-10 seconds seems about right to me

It prevents teams from getting a free timeout.
As seen in the Lions Falcons game, it also simulates what would happen if there were no stoppage of play. Lions got hit with the 10s runoff even though they did nothing wrong.

Did they get a 10s runoff without committing a penalty? And is the rule only in effect if the team is out of timeouts?

The rule robbed Detroit of a win, lol

The rule I can't stand is allowing teams to call consecutive timeouts before the ball is snapped, such as icing the kicker with 2-3 timeouts in a row.

I don't think so

And to be honest, from the time a player is actually tackled, I doubt teams can reset and snapped a ball within 10 seconds. Maybe when they're clocking the ball in the right situation where WRs aren't 25-30 yards downfield, that's about it.
