The NFL has different timing rules than the NCAA and NF. They run the clock on some plays when players go out of bounds under the right circumstances. I do not completely understand when the clock still runs, but I think it is around the 5 minute mark. I have an idea that the clock is handled differently at the 10, 5 and 3 minute marks. I will see an NFL official (and the Bear's timer) tonight at a meeting and I will ask him. I will report what they tell me.
Peace
