The kickoff at the end of the game

[w280sax]

I was at the game and the refs put 1 second back on the clock atter the 63 yd kick because "by rule a field goal can't take longer than 5 seconds".  Weird rule but ok.  It really looked to me that the Giants might score after a couple laterals on that play.

I have heard very little about that play.  I believe they may have not shown it on TV at all and I haven't seen a replay of it since.  Was it on TV?  If not, did anyone else nearly lose their mind on that play?

They cut to the late game as soon as the field goal went through.

Beckham took the kickoff 9 yards deep and they lateraled 2 or 3 times and it appeared they had an opening with one panthers to beat when they tried to lateral again around midfield and that lateral went out of bounds.

I saw no flags and legit thought they might score.  Definitely curious to hear from others who saw it.

No I thought the game was over after the FG and didn’t hear about that last play till today

I don't think anyone saw it except those at the game. It was a crazy end to a crazy game, and for a half second I thought they were going to pull off the impossible to top the impossible

I've been trying to find video of this as well, haven't seen it anywhere.

Its definitely weird Nfl.com does not even list that play 

Though espn does list it

"(0:01 - 4th) G.Gano kicks 74 yards from CAR 35 to NYG -9. O.Beckham to NYG 17 for 26 yards. Lateral to C.Riley to NYG 14 for -3 yards. Lateral to S.Shepard to NYG 41 for 27 yards. FUMBLES, ball out of bounds at NYG 41."

Why can't a fg take more than 5 seconds?  What an arbitrary rule...first time I'd heard that one.

It wasn't on TV but is on the coaches film on gamepass. OBJ lateraled back to somebody who hit Shepard. Shepard I think was past the 40 and tried to pass it back to someone on the sidelines. Went through his hands and out of bounds.

Actually just went back and watched it again to make sure I got it right. It would go really well with the Benny Hill theme as accompaniment.

In Virginia (at least in my area) they cut before the field goal was attempted. I got texts from happy family members letting me know what happened.

Not sure if this happened to anyone else.

Happened to a lot of people, especially where I am, in Pennsylvania. God forbid we miss the commercials before the Eagles run through the tunnel. They switched to commercials as Gano lined up for the kick. Completely unacceptable by Fox.
