Hypothetical- if he crosses into the end zone with 1 second left what then?
It was close, on the replays he was at about the 5 yard line with 1 second left.

Wondering what they do then, still take a knee, kick the PAT or go for 2 and stretch it to 7? Thinking they go for 2 and try and at least make it a TD difference...

How many defenders were back there? If there weren't many, a 2 pt conv was in order

With one second they would have kicked it.
With no time it is a courtesy to take a knee.

Yes, in 1998 against the Bills, I had several dimes on the Pats, thats year the NFL took away instant replay, lol, that's the only reason I won that game, Bills got cheated, hahaha......if my memory serves, Pats ran it in easily, Vikings could have easily done the same, they knew the spread.

For me the touchdown in the Pittsburgh game and one second being added on at the end was a god send, it meant I hit the Steelers +3.5 by half a point.

The same scenario but opposite in the Saints game the fact that they took a snap instead of kicking the extra point (It would have resulted in losing £2k) meant I won again by half a point.



Fine margins.
