That's what I thought, Bob. From the statement below that the NFL gave it looks like we are wrong. I'm not 100% sure, but I think he could have done it with more time on the clock & there just would have been a 5 yard penalty. Even so.......The Giants still deserved to lose! Andy - Las Vegas

>>>>>One additional note on the play: Allen did not have the option of spiking the ball to stop the clock, which only can be done by taking a hand-to-hand snap directly from the center. If Allen had spiked the ball, it would have been a penalty for intentionally grounding the ball and the game would have ended due to a 10-second runoff of the clock.<<<<<
