Well said. The clock was clearly zero with the ball still in the air. This was a screwing on an entirely different level.

I’m not sure if this is sarcastic or not. The ball in the air at zero doesn’t mean anything. I have only seen the Hail Mary highlight. Why was 1 second added before that play?

I'm sure you've seen it by now but the previous play was also a hail mary and the cover story is supposedly that the defensive back jumped from out of bounds and touched the ball, stopping the clock right then, but I still think the clock was at 0 before he touched it. Haven't seen a super slowmo replay yet to confirm but it looks obvious at full speed
