"In the article I posted, it said they pull big prey into the water and do what's called a death spiral in order to kill and tear up the bigger prey."

Most large carnivores do something similar. Which is why a dog, for example, shakes its head when it bites into something. It helps set the teeth and/or tears off chunks. A crocodillian doesn't have all that strong of neck muscles, but its tail makes up for a lot.
