With about 6 seconds left in the game against the Oakland Raiders, Chicago Bears QB Caleb Hanie snapped the ball and spiked it into the ground. However, Hanie waited too long to make that decision, as he took two seconds and about five steps before spiking the ball. This was ruled intentional grounding, and the rule requires a 10 second runoff, ending the game.
Consider it a lesson learned for Hanie, who is trying to fill Jay Cutler's shoes until he comes back from his injury.
