 Beginning about 6 : 45 , many members of the public began calling NBC network and affiliate switchboards . Some demanded the game be shown to its conclusion ; others wanted to know if Heidi would start on time . These calls jammed the switchboards , and even blew repeated fuses in them , preventing the executives from getting through to each other to resolve the situation . NBC protocol required an operations order from Connal , to countermand the midweek written orders , but Cline received no call from the increasingly desperate Connal , who was frustrated by the switchboard issues . Without such an order , and not knowing of Goodman 's approval , Cline made the decision that Heidi would start on time . The television audience saw Smith return Turner 's kickoff out of the end zone to the Oakland 22 @-@ yard line with 1 : 01 remaining . Burbank BOC played the closing football theme and gave the word cue , to the outraged shock of Ellis and Connal , and the connection was irretrievably broken . Although the western United States continued to view the game , the eastern half of the nation instead saw a little girl on a Swiss mountain and was unaware that Oakland was in the course of scoring two touchdowns to win the game .

 Safeties are the least common method of scoring in American football but are not rare occurrences – since 1932 , a safety has occurred once every 14 @.@ 31 games in the National Football League ( NFL ) , or about once a week under current scheduling rules . On October 21 , 1973 , Fred Dryer , playing for the Los Angeles Rams against the Green Bay Packers , became the only player in NFL History to score two safeties in a single game . A much rarer occurrence is the one @-@ point safety , which can be scored by the offense on an extra point or two @-@ point conversion attempt ; those have occurred at least twice in NCAA Division I football since 1996 , most recently at the 2013 Fiesta Bowl . No conversion safeties have occurred since at least 1940 in the NFL . A conversion safety by the defense is also possible , though highly unlikely ; although this has never occurred , it is the only possible way a team could finish with a single point in an American football game .

 Elective safeties are more common in Canadian football , where they can result in better field position than a punt . The 2010 Edmonton Eskimos surrendered a Canadian Football League ( CFL ) -record 14 safeties , a factor that led CFL reporter Jim Mullin to suggest increasing the value of the safety touch from two to three points as a deterrent .
