Situation A:

~6 minutes remain, Team A is down 7 points. 1st & Goal. Result is turnover on downs and never got ball back

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.
