It is definitely possible. Especially with ropati playing well but ropati fumbled in a similar scenario against Arizona. Precautionary makes some sense but not because the game was over. Every other starter on offense stayed in. Without him they were sputtering. That’s why the question came up from Greg and Hans.
No use discussing further. Glad they won and without much drama despite it being a bit more interesting than it could have been at about the ten minute mark
