The scoreboard clock read 20-20, but the minutes later it would change back to 20-19 for Ottawa. It was determined that Ilesic's FG attempt skimmed the upright, which resulted in a dead ball. This was not announced in stadium until very late, perhaps even as the game ended.

    Strange, and in a way, heartbreaking.
    I never did like that rule. But I think I am coming into the "eliminate the single point on missed field goals", camp.

    I'm not going to get into the "eliminate the single point on missed field goal" debate, as that's been beaten to death, but I think it would interesting if a kicked ball that hit the uprights was a live ball.
