By the 7:30 mark of the third quarter in the Ravens preseason game against the Redskins, Dustin Vaughn had run just 8 plays and completed 1 pass for 10 yards to the great Griff Whalen. It would be his only toss of the night, although there were plans for at least one more throw.
Facing a third and 16 from his own 17-yard line, Vaughn stood under center. He didn’t like what he saw and started barking, “Kill!” “Kill!” In other words, he wanted to kill the play called, opting instead to hand off to Taquan Mizzell – a play that went for exactly 0 yards.
