Pittsburgh Review

Fred Daniels from Atlanta, GA raised concerns about the use of stadium loudspeakers during a game against Washington. He noted that the speakers played "It's third down" loudly as the play clock wound down, potentially hindering Russell Wilson's ability to call plays. According to NFL rules, "all in-stadium audio must be turned off with 20 seconds remaining on the play clock or whenever the center touches the football in preparation of snapping it, whichever comes first."

Elijah James from Greenbelt, MD asked why T.J. Watt and Alex Highsmith don't switch sides more often during games. The response indicated that such decisions come from coaches and are practiced during the week since defensive operations require coordination among all players.
