I have not heard or read where anyone has brought it up, but on Travin Howard's game-sealing interception did you notice how Greg Gaines wrapped him up from behind and eased him to the ground. About as heads up a play as you will ever see.

Yeah I believe it was mentioned before. This team has definitely had it's moments, like when OBJ purposely lost yardage while going out of bounds to keep the time of running in a previous game.

Definitely - just re-watched that clip.
Smart move by Gaines.
The LAST thing you want is a fumble recovered by SF & taken to the house at that point.

I guess it was the safest thing to do, but Travis may have broken a tackle and gotten a TD! Once in a lifetime chance for him in a conference championship game.

I think that Gaines was trying to protect the ball to make sure we maintained possession.

Yes it’s likely he didn’t want to risk a fumble. A TD score wouldn’t have been necessary with so little time on the clock, but it would have been a fun, In Yo Face moment.
 
I’ll tell you a play design I liked was the pitch back tight end screen. I’m not sure I’ve ever seen that.
