Denver would win if they just run out the clock.

I didn't realize it went past one quarter of OT. Never seen go past a quarter before  _________________ "John Schneider is...half ninja assassin, half shark. This man does not screw around...So glad he is our GM." - PGunning101

Yeah, games are not settled by the seeding tie breakers. They're settled on the field.
IIRC, San Diego and Cinci went to a 3rd overtime many years ago. And I know there was mutltiple OT game in the playoffs between Miami and Kansas City back in 1973 if memory serves.

I never understand why they did quarters in OT in the playoffs. Why not just turn off the clock?
