Correct me if I'm wrong here because I dont know when/if they changed the rule - When the saints commited the false start on their first field goal attempt there at the end, shouldn't there have been a 10 second runoff on the game clock, therefore sending the game into OT?? Need clarification on this one

no. they were coming off of a timeout so the clock was stopped. that rule is in effect when the clock is running.

I think a ten second run off would only happen only when the clock is running.

anyways...is it me or would that kick gone wide if it was not deflicted. I saw it and it look right down the middle with the defliction.

hmmm. Well the Football Godz were not with us last night. I can tell with that Adams fumble. Those usually bounce out of bounds in those situations
