Marvin Lewis

I noted several weeks ago that Marvin Lewis, coach of the Cincinnati Bengals, successfully "iced the kicker" against the Ravens. CBS showed the end of the Bengals game this week, which, as it worked out, would have put the team in the playoffs had they won. With about 1:10 left, the Steelers about to attempt a game-tying field goal, Lewis called time out. In the Ravens game, the time out wasn't critical, since it was at the end of the first half. Here, however, they had 70 seconds and 2 time outs left, a chance to drive down the field and win the game. What the hell is Lewis doing wasting a time out???
