Ref Explains Mysterious Clock Stoppage That Allowed Saints to Score a Last-Second TD

The clock stops at the end of the Commanders - Saints game. | @NinerNick_22

The Washington Commanders beat the New Orleans Saints 20-19 in Week 15. The Saints scored a touchdown on the final play of regulation to put themselves in position to send the game to overtime with an extra point or possibly win the game with a two-point conversion. The Saints went for it, but Spencer Rattler's pass to Juwan Johnson was unsuccessful.

Since the Commanders held on to win, it doesn't even really matter that the Saints probably scored that last second touchdown because of an unwarranted clock stoppage with nine seconds remaining in the game.
