when it was stopped. I'll even exclude plays where the offense was starting a drive, coming out of a timeout, or special teams. Also, to be fair I will exclude end of half drives where we were obviously in somewhat of a hurry to score. In other words, these are just plays within the normal flow of the game.

Avg seconds on left play clock at snap when game clock was running: 5.2

Avg seconds left on play clock at snap when game clock was stopped: 7.3

2 seconds difference per play on average. Over the course of a game, that's about 2 minutes of TOP.
