Crazy ending, Wash v Dallas

That's why you watch the NFL football, because every time there's a chance you'll see something you've never seen before.

Today it was Washington and Dallas. Tie game, late in the fourth quarter.

Dallas drives and gets into position to make a 35 yard field goal with six seconds left.

Washington blocks it! And recovers the block!

And although the wisdom would be to fall on the ball, the Washington player picks up the ball and runs it ... and gets facemasked!

This gives Washington a final play with no time left on the clock, because a football game cannot end on a defensive penalty. And the guy has advanced the ball so far that, with the additional 15 yards penalty for the facemasking...

...with the final play of the game, Washington kicks a 46 yard field goal and wins!

Never ever before, and never ever again, will any other NFL game end in this fashion.
