Why do they not “10 second run off” all game?

Why only when there’s less than 2 min left?

Because thats when a clock stoppage from a penalty becomes advantageous

Nobody is going to intentionally false start to stop the clock when there’s 7 minutes left. But that might not be the case if you’re trailing with no timeouts and short on time

Understandable, but a clock stoppage for a review during a running clock should cause a runoff any time or no time.

Most of the game, the offense isnt in a super big hurry to get a snap off. So the game clock just starts running once the ready to play whistle is blown following a replay review or penalty

Great response

Also, why does the clock stop when you go out of bounds only at the end of the half? Same reason.

This is a rule they put in several years ago, last two minutes of the first half and last five minutes of the second half. Intended to shorten the game duration so they could squeeze in some more commercials.

Why does a helmet coming off cause a runoff

So a team can’t gain an advantage by having a player “lose” his helmet to conveniently stop the clock

Why should losing your helmet stop the clock
