Bad play calling played a part. The runner who didn't go out of bounds cost several seconds, but the swing pass with a few seconds left was really bad. They had been running the ball all night with short yardage for the first down, but went for the pass that was stopped inthe flat and kept the clock running. The last play was probably susposed to be a pass, but instead of throwing the ball away, the QB tries to get out of bounds and runs the clock out. With the way their kicker was performing, he probably would have missed the long field goal anyway.
