The Miami Police Department has issued an arrest warrant for Jay Cutler, on suspicions of stealing $10 million from the Dolphins.
Apparently, the rule was implemented a few years ago because it was felt that it was unfair to the defense to stop a running clock for a review (in effect giving the offense an additional timeout). In this situation, the offense can avoid the 10 second runoff if they have a timeout left. The Lions didn't have any timeouts left and since only 6 seconds were left, the game was over.
