Why Didn't Kenny Atkinson Call Timeout at the End of Regulation??

from The Ken Carman Show with Anthony Lima

Ken and Lima break down the final chaotic moments of regulation after a caller raises the obvious question: why didn't Kenny Atkinson call one of his two remaining timeouts before the inbound with 20 seconds left? Kenny's postgame answer gets played, with the coach explaining he didn't want to let Detroit get their defense set, preferring the chaos of a live situation over a scripted inbound play, which Ken finds reasonable but still a little uncomfortable given the team's history of botched inbound plays. The segment also shifts to the Browns, with Albert Breer's take from afternoon drive getting dissected, as he frames this as another year of development and building toward the future, which Ken pushes back on by pointing out that nothing the Browns have actually done suggests they are planning to lose games and tank for 2027. Ken closes with the Browns schedule release coming tonight and the question of whether Deshaun Watson or Shadeur Sanders starts Week 1 against Jacksonville still very much up in the air.
