Did anyone else notice the clock issue at the end of the game? The Skins had 2 timeouts and Tampa had one according to the announcers who circled the timeouts on TV. The drive started with 1:47 on the clock. RG3 threw two passes down the field and ran once (if my memory serves me correct). Then we get a false start on (2nd and 10 after having spiked the ball to stop the clock) the LG and moved back. RG3 threw a pass play over the middle which was caught and as they were lining up to spike the ball MS called "timeout" with :01 on the clock to kick the field goal.

The announcers even made a point to say "MS went to the ref and asked for a timeout with one second on the clock. Now they line up kick the FG and win the game. Game should be over but MS started yelling at players to get off the field. Then there is :03 on the clock and we had to kick to the Bucks.

No I've asked about this and no one knows why that happened but one person informed me that right before the FG the clock showed :07. So someone added more time to the clock between the time of the timeout and the time of the kick but no one knows why?

According to the announcers and what was on the screen :01 there should never have been another kick off.
