In the 100 years of the nfl? Yes. Lions just this weekend had 2 tds within 1:14 of one another. Earlier this year the Bills had 2 TDs separated by 1:40.

At the end of regulation with 1:00 and 1 TO left?

Scoring a TD, then recovering an onside kick?

Come on

I personally hated the lose, but I loved the way it happened. It shows a big chunk of the issue.

Dak put an already struggling defense on the field after a boneheaded int. Said defense struggles but does just enough in the way of stops to allow Dak time to get rolling (which he does).

Then with 3 minutes (a two minute warning time out) and possession of the football with a chance to win it and the entire playbook at your disposal Dak couldn’t even get 10 yards.

This is a game he needed to win and was given everything to do it. And he didn’t. The game ended appropriately with the spotlight being on him and the offense.

I have two since 1999. I’ll see if I can find more before that:


Browns at Bears 2001:

Cleveland is down 14, scores a TD with 32 seconds left, gets the onside kick, uses their final TO and scores an TD again at the buzzer, wins in overtime.


Browns at Patriots 2013:

Final 1:01 of regulation, Patriots down 13, Brady throws a TD to Edelman, gets the onside kick, throws TD to Amendola to win with only 1 TO in between.

Its these meaningless 4th quarter offensive splurges when the game is pretty much lost that keeps the charade going. The Lions weren't having it b/c I think Dan Campbell just really hates jerry.

2 since ‘99 is “many times”?

Dak had his chance again and he failed again.

He failed again? This was his only failure this season in the final moments when we had a chance to win. Against Baltimore he brought us back from a huge deficit and put us in position for a game winning drive but we couldn’t stop the Ravens on a 3rd and 6 and they were able to run out the clock. Against Pittsburgh, Dak led us us on a last ditch game winning drive in the final moments. Keep living in the moment.

2 since ‘99 is “a lot”?

I didn’t say a lot, I said many times, which is more than a few times. Twice in 25% of the NFL’s history would imply it’s happened many times in the totality of NFL’s history

That’s if we’re no longer arguing the possibility of the play and have devolved in pedantic semantics

I was referring to the final drive in SF and at home where he had plenty of time to get it done….playoffs

Baby Dak needs another Diaper change...................0-4.....

I don’t care what kind of math you use…2 times in the last 25 years (about 7,000 games) is not “many times”

 

[Proof]

Dak had his chance again and he failed again. Same thing happened a couple of years ago in the playoffs against them. Plenty of time to win the game and couldn’t get one yard. This contract is Carson Wentz city USA…..

not that he deserves any defense, and not like he didn't have multiple other downs, but that pass to turpin was gorgeous.

semantics would be distorting the definition of "many" which is "a large number of" lol

 

[RoboQB]

Some people have complete blinders on when comparing Romo and Dak. Anytime you lose a football game because the other team scores 51 points, it's not the QB. That's a game, the backup QB should have been in with 10 minutes left to go in the 4th quarter.

Clearly, you didn't actually watch that game.
Or, dementia may be settling in.
