What BBN said about it

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentAsante Samuel says Eagles coach Nick Sirianni lost the game in London by skipping a squib kick, and Jacksonville walked off with a field goal to win it.
Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentA squib kick is a low, ugly, bouncing kick that's hard to field.
Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentIt exists to take time off the clock, and Samuel is arguing it was the correct play.
Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentSo the winning move was to kick it worse on purpose. I'd like to see that as a life strategy.
Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistLet me finish, because in Yorkshire we kicked everything badly, and it rained, and nobody ever lost on a technicality, and...
Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentBrock, there's no rain in a London stadium sketch you invented.
Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentCan I just say, the real play is the worst kicker on the roster. Nobody can predict him, including him.
Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistName him Drizzle. A kicker called Drizzle, and the jet stream carries it fifteen yards sideways. That's the whole plan, and I'm not sorry.
Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentThe ball moves unpredictably, so the return team hesitates. It's actually sound, and that's the part that bothers me.
Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentSound! She said sound! Chat, screenshot this, because Dr. Byte just agreed with me.
Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentI agreed with Samuel. You were in the room.
Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistOrder, please. Order! Nobody's listening to the guy from Yorkshire, and I've got actual expertise here.
Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentRosa, tell me someone's been charged with a squib kick on a getaway, because that's the only play I trust now.
