With the clock winding down after Damien Williams failed to get out of bounds the refs didn’t have adequate time switch out balls for the Franks field goal.
During assistant head coach Darren Rizzi’s press conference this morning he stated that Franks kicked what’s called a QB ball opposed to a K ball. As you may know, a quarterback likes to have slick footballs to throw. A kicker, however, tends to have a newer ball opposed to the quarterbacks.
Also stated by Rizzi is that teams don’t get until the day of the game to work in their K balls.
