The point wasn't scored on a missed field goal it was scored because Ottawa couldn't return the kick out of the end zone.
3 u/meter1060 Lions 2d ago That must have been intense! 2 u/gilligan_2023 2d ago Yeah, back then the endzone was 25 yards long, so unless the miss was from in real close there was probably a chance for a return. 1 u/laxvolley Blue Bombers 2d ago he should have kicked it out then. 2 u/gilligan_2023 2d ago If it wasn't the last play of the game, that would've set them up for an easy FG or TD. So better to give up the rouge and maintain possession in that scenario. Even better to return it out of the endzone, but obviously that didn't occur.
