Can't let you get away with that post concerning the Falcons Super Bowl 28-3 score with 2 minutes and change left in 3rd.
In football, it comes down to possessions, you can only have a opportunity of getting the ball so many times moving forward comparative to the gameclock
A team normally gets like 3 drive attempts a quarter
28-3 , is down by 4 possessions, as 8 possible points is most you can get in a drive . 3 touchdowns and 3 successful 2 point conversions , without other team scoring... would add 24 points and make score now
28-27 . YOU STILL WOULD LOSE BY 1
I understand your theory on odd probabilities posted to win. But that game , they really were a true 99.8% chance of winning . It all comes down to the clock running out
You could stop other team 3 and out, and you do 3 separate perfect 2-3 monite quick scores with 3 str8 successfull 2 point attempts ....and still not win
That game could he played 100 times again, and Atlanta , in that same exact spot wins 99 out of 100
