If you take a time count violation on third down in the final three minutes of a half, you are assessed a ten yard penalty. The Argos lost a game that way back in '09 when Justin Medlock seemingly nailed a 47 yard FG to win a game over Winnipeg. However, the officials said that the Argos did not get the snap off in time and the team was assessed a 10 yard penalty and Medlock had to try again from the 57. He hit the upright, the Argos lost and never recovered that season.
