Here's a question for you. During a PAT kick, in one of the games today, the clock didn't move.

Are PAT's live game ? As in, if the defending team recovered or ran back an INT, does that not affect the game clock ?

Thanks

Funny you should ask that. Because, football geek that I am, I recently ran an American football simulation program I got from the Internet. And the clock did not run during the PAT simulations. So I'm thinking that PAT's freeze the clock. If that's wrong, perhaps someone will correct me.

PATs are played by rule as one untamed down. In all PATs the clock does not move and even if there is a penalty requiring replay, it will be announced also as one untimed down.

The PAT is a play that is run outside of game time. If the opposing team intercepts the ball or kick and runs it back for a score, I think the result is called a one-point touchdown. It’s obscure but I saw it once in a college game. I don’t know if that applies to the NFL.
