Know little about football ... Time running out


The movie says historically time ran out twice on a team. Is this true? Any reason they would do this? Or is it pure stupidity?

In 2003, the Vikings clock ran out, though they believed a trade between them and the Ravens was finalized. The trade was not done so they were skipped two times during this fiasco. So yes, it happened two times in a row when both the Jaguars and Panthers jumped up past the Vikings and put their picks in.

So yes, historically accurate

Thanks for the reply.

Apparently both teams needed to call the trade in, and that didn't happen.
