I saw that too, but I was wondering why Rackers (the Arizona kicker) kicked the ball like a kickoff rather than a field goal. Seems to me like the timing would be a bit off (of course I say that with my exactly ZERO games of kicking experienc in my life).

it was a 68y! try = 5 yards over nfl record

only chance for him was to hit the ball as hard as he could. that was the result.
i think it was only a gimmick by ken whisenhunt. not really a try for points.

According to the rule book on line: If time expires while ball is in play and a fair catch is awarded, receiving team may choose to extend the period with one fair catch kick down. However, placekicker may not use tee.

So you could do this at the end of the period as an untimed down which is different.
