So ... while fits and flags are flying and the ball's being re-spotted, Tampa makes changes to their defensive personnel and gets their playcall correct. Which is what they wanted to do anyhow. Difference in the yardage? About 1.

So ... Tampa gives their defense an extra blow, gets their personnel reset properly, gets their goal-line call right, and gets the stop. Essentially benefiting from the penalty.

Is that right?

But it's really on Carolina for running a sweep off the direct snap to McCaffery.

Norv Turner is no Andy Reid.
