Bigwes - a LOT of the time, a false start by the offense actually ends up helping the offense. Example - Detroit vs Dallas, the Lions committed a false start, which no one on the field heard - and then threw an interception. To the casual observer, the false start helped the offense. To us, we know the play never happened... just as the spike never happened in the game you are referring to.
If it was a delay or a false start, though, committed while trying to conserve time, did the officials run off any clock, and/or start the clock on the ready, as they probably should have?
