The more guys who touch the ball on any play the more chance you have for a turnover. He's playing with fire in a game we are physically winning, very little need for bullshit, misdirection yes, 3+ guys touching the ball on multiple plays, nah.
Stopped? The ball hits the turf and Adams pulls up nearly a full second before Ball levels him full speed. That's dirty as hell. He still would have hit him if he slowed down but nowhere near that amount of contact and force. Totally unnecessary as the play was obviously over.
