I know a lot of people were screaming, "Get rid of the ball!" on the offense's last play, but I actually didn't mind him taking the sack. If I had to guess, MM's instructions were to make the play if someone was definitely open, but to be smart...don't force it for an incompletion or a turnover (stating the obvious there). The reason being that the sack kept the clock running to the two minute warning. If Rodgers throws an imcompletion there, we essentially give the Eagles another timeout with saving the two-minute warning for them.
