People are taking this shit way too far with this. Every talking head today is like " he should have deferred and knew what he had to match".

That's absolutely ridiculous. You take the ball and you go try to score whichever way you can and you PLAY DEFENSE. Even if you defer there's no guarantee if the other team scores that you are going to match that score.

There's not a better chance you will match the score than getting a stop. Especially if it's a touchdown.

The odds aren't that much better. We don't even have the data yet to really quantify it. It's a new rule and this is the first time we saw it in action.

People make me sick with this shit.
