Carolina Panthers 29, St. Louis Rams 23 (Two OT, Final) Live thread

They have to. In order to tie they need a TD with a two pointer and a FG. If they don't get the two pointer they need to TD's to win, a regular conversion is meaningless for them. 11 is a cruel lead.

If they get the td do you go for the double?

Oh yeah! That puts them within 3 points.

Despite the refs' best effort, it's looking good for the Panthers.

Rams are having trouble getting the ball in the end zone from the 1.

Yeah maybe that is a bit obvious. What is the usual percentage of success for the double?

The two point conversion is good! Now it's only a field goal's difference.

No problem with the refs, the pass interference call was proper. And the push out got reversed for lack of possession.

It's all about an onside kick now, tick tock.

Wow, glad I didn't turn this off 5 minutes ago.
