[Strangler Lewis]

I would add that the last minute drive to the game winning field goal is only truly exciting when the driving team is trailing by a point or two and faces the prospect of winning or losing. The last second kick by a team that is down by three, which succeeds in avoiding a loss but sends the game to overtime is somewhat less exciting. The last second longshot kick in a tie game made in an attempt to avoid is overtime is still less exciting.
