DETROIT — Seconds tick down the same way. The measure of a second doesn’t change from clock to clock. “One-one-thousand,” we would say on the playground.
The clock might rush you, but a clock isn’t rushed. It read 0:32 when Caleb Williams got sacked on second down with the ball at the Detroit 41-yard line, and it kept going.
Thirty-two seconds with one timeout and the ball at the Detroit 41-yard line? That’s miraculous for a team on a losing streak that trailed 16-0, got two first downs in the first half, then trailed 23-13 in the fourth quarter.
