An earlier post mentioned NFL rules re punts and field goal trys going into the end zone. I had a bizarre ending to a Mason-Dixon Football League playoff game this past season. This is a semi-pro league played under NFL rules. Regulation time ended in a tie. First overtime , still tied. Second overtime with a little over two minutes left, team A attempts a field goal which is partially blocked. The ball bounces into the end zone where a player of team B tries to pick it up but muffs it and team A player falls on it for the winning touchdown, four hours and thirty-five minutes after kick-off.
