Re: Madden “Come on, Man” Moments

Playing a Week 4 game with my fantasy draft Chargers against Jacksonville.
The Jaguars are not very good, but somehow I trail 25-16 late in the fourth quarter.
Jacksonville, on paper, isn't very good but I have thrown two red zone interceptions -- my QB is Matt Ryan -- and Dez Bryant, my top receiver, lost a fumble at my own 15 to set up a J'ville score.
Well, I score a touchdown and hit on a 2-pt. conversion to pull within 25-24 with about 1:45 to go.
I make the defensive stops, but burn my time outs.
After the punt, I am inside by 20 with about 45 seconds to go.
I complete a couple of passes, get the ball up near my own 45 with about 11 seconds left.
Ryan throws a pass to Donte Moncrief, who makes the catch and after a bit of a run is brought down at the 47 with four seconds to go.
But there is a flag -- facemask -- which means 15 free yards and more importantly the clock stops.
Justin Tucker nails the 49-yard field goal and I have a win I didn't expect or probably deserve.
It is one of the few occasions I can remember a late game flag going my way.
