Situation A:

Situation B:
~7 seconds remain, Team A down 1 point and a play away from field goal range. Result is gain of yardage but time runs out.
You're really gonna argue that Situation A was closer to winning the game?

That would be a fun one to run through a computer. I think it’s pretty close, even if in Situation A you’re only trying to tie the game. In Situation B you screw up one play you’re toast. And then you’ve still got to make the FG.
