Sporting Charts explains Freeze

When leading in a football game, teams will try to hold the ball and run out the clock in order to secure a win. When the Green Bay Packers got the football back from the Pittsburgh Steelers in the 2011 Super bowl, they had to run 49 seconds off the clock to secure the win.
