Fun rule change idea - Under 2 minutes of 4th, 10 seconds max comes off play clock (lemmy.world)

I had this thought after watching a game where the winning team came back from the 2 minute warning running the victory formation.

It seems dumb to me that we come back from the 2 minute ~~warning~~ commercial break and the only time we have action is if the game is close and the losing team has the ball or has timeouts.

What if instead, the winning team is forced to run plays that actually drain the clock, or attempt to get yards and points. I feel like this would make the last 2 minutes more exciting.

Take the Bills v Chiefs game. It was an exciting game, but Chiefs went into victory formation at the 1:30 mark. What if instead the chiefs would have to keep playing for at least another minute? What other sports can we have a game this close where the last minute+ is this boring?

Alternate idea, under 1 minute, the play clock stops after every play.

Any thoughts? I think both would make for a more exciting 2 minutes, and change the coaching strategy in an interesting way.

This rule would give the team that's behind more favorable conditions to score in the last 2 minutes than the other team had throughout the game. It's just gifting time to the losing team. I don't think one team should be rewarded for being behind at the end. More exciting, yes, but not fair.
