There could be other reasons.

I looked it up.

I was right! Woohoo!

But imdb spells it differently: "Jerry Lundegaard".

William H. Macy, Frances McDormand, and Steve Buscemi are the perfect trio for that movie.

I can't come close to agreeing with this. It can work as a disadvantage to the team ahead in all sorts of ways -- momentum, cooling down, freaking them out (i.e. the John McEnroe effect on his opponent), etc. This needs to be handled within a minute to a minute and a half tops.
