Peace
End of the third quarter, in fact (IIRC), the TV clock didn't run until after the play was over. There were something like 6 seconds left when the last play started, and the TV clock didn't run, and then it did after the play was over.

But, as was mentioned, that clock isn't official. It doesn't matter what that clock does, except that it tends to confuse the home viewer, who thinks that it's the Word of the Lord.
