Ok calling this the "best finish in sports" is just ridiculous, it might be the best finish in american football but hardly in all of sports

Well, i have to acknowledge this one.. really amazing.
I just feel sorry for those poor guys, who thought that theres no way in hell their opponent will score in 4 seconds. Must really break one's heart to experience being beaten like this.
By the way: if someone did watch F1 this weekend, the last lap of that was something similar.. turn in the last moment, just to have things turned upside down again a few seconds before the end.
Oh and calling this the best of all times.. yea i must agree with javlar, that it might classify in american football, but theres prolly plenty of other 'best finishes' in other sports.

Maybe I'm not so familiar with the rules of american football, but the final run took alot more then 4 seconds in my opinion.
Yes after second watching the run took 21 seconds (from the kick-off at 5:12 up to 5:33 when the guy crossed the touch down line).
Why they have a clock if it's only there for ignoring? rgds

Even if there is 0 seconds left, they wait till the end of the play (knee or elbow on the ground) to end the game.
It's a game of downs, not a constantly ticking clock like english football or hockey.
I attended this play: VIDEO
Kick starts @ 1:50, similar circumstances

Always nice to get confirmation even if it's half a year later
