 The team failed to throw a touchdown pass in any of their first five games , three of which were shutout losses . Offensive coordinator John Rauch walked out on the team during the week 5 game against Cincinnati , and gave ' personal differences ' as the reason for his resignation . His duties were taken over by McKay , who pointed to the increased effectiveness of the team ’ s “ simpler ” offense , saying that they were no longer “ trying to do all the things people said you have to do in this league ” . On a strange NFL weekend in which O.J. Simpson was ejected from a game for fighting , the Chicago Bears lost a game due to a referee ’ s inadvertent whistle , and Minnesota Vikings receiver Sammy White fumbled away a touchdown due to starting his celebration before entering the end zone , McKay launched an obscenity @-@ filled tirade against Denver Broncos coach John Ralston after a blowout loss . McKay admitted that his feelings dated back to their college rivalry , when McKay coached at USC and Ralston coached at Stanford University , but pointed to specific plays such as a reverse and a last @-@ minute punt return as evidence that Ralston was trying to run up the score . Third @-@ string running back Manfred Moore caught a lucky break when , waived after the week 13 game against the Pittsburgh Steelers , he was picked up by the Oakland Raiders as an injury replacement for ex @-@ Buccaneer Rick Jennings . He wound up going from an 0 – 13 team to the eventual Super Bowl champion . Players began to meet for postgame parties at Steve Spurrier ’ s house , in order to avoid having to show their faces in public . According to defensive end Pat Toomay , “ By the time we got to the last game of the season , we had so many injuries that we didn ’ t feel we had much of a chance . Everybody was so sick of the season that they showed up packed and ready to get out of town . It looked like a bunch of Okies fleeing the dust bowl . " McKay said that the week 4 game against the Baltimore Colts summed up the season : “ On one play I looked up and one of our guys was getting kicked out of the game , and two more were getting carried off ” .

 Since postseason games cannot end in a tie unlike the preseason or regular season , additional overtime periods are played as necessary until a winner is determined . Furthermore , all clock rules apply as if a game had started over . Therefore , if the first overtime period ends with the score still tied , the teams switch ends of the field prior to double overtime . If a game was still tied with two minutes to go in double overtime , there would be a two @-@ minute warning ( but not during the first overtime period as in the regular season ) . And if it were still tied at the end of double overtime , there would be a kickoff to start triple overtime . Although a contest could theoretically last indefinitely , or last multiple overtime periods like several National Hockey League postseason games , no NFL playoff game has ever gone into triple @-@ overtime . The longest NFL game played to date is 82 minutes , 40 seconds : Miami Dolphins kicker Garo Yepremian made the winning 37 @-@ yard field goal after 7 : 40 of double @-@ overtime to defeat the Kansas City Chiefs , 27 – 24 , in the 1971 – 72 NFL playoffs on December 25 , 1971 .
