Okay, Hotshot, I'll bite. Name a half dozen or so of these many instances of teams scoring two TDs in the last minute of play in a game to come from behind win the game.
I can't think of a single game in the last 50 years where a team was behind by 13 points with a minute to play and scored two TDs in the last minute to win the game. There may be one, but I can't think of it off the top of my head.
Even in the Heidi Bowl, the Raiders were only down by 3 points with a minute to play. They did score two TDs, though, but that was 19friggin68.
Given the need to score two TDs in a minute where the Bills had been unable to score in 59 minutes, even the 30 minutes when the weren't going into the wind, I don't see how you can say the outcome of the game was in question.
Seriously, dude. The game was over. BB knew it, the players knew it, even the Bills knew it. They had the ball back with 1:04, tossed a short incompletion and ran the clock out with a pair of runs, not calling time out. Didn't even try a Hail Mary. 'Cause the game was over.
When the Pats punted the second time, all that was left was preserving the shutout.
Which BB ensured by punting on third down.
Couple things. Generally, I don't respond to people using your tone, but I really hate being quoted out of context. If you quote someone, you should always include all relevant information... unless your part of the media. "There are many instances of two scores happening in very tiny time intervals." I don't see anything here that's talking about a final minute.
If you are unable to find examples yourself of two scores in under a minute and 40 seconds time, I suppose I can try to help you. I also prefer to teach people to fish than just feed them for a day, so I'll tell you how I found them. I first went to NFL.com, and looked at the specific games that I remember from this year that had two quick scores. Also, go to
Google and typde words and/or phrases into the search bar. It should come up with several links containing the words/phrases you used in said search bar.
I'll start with a couple of weeks ago. vs. Oakland, the Pats scored 2 touchdowns in 20 seconds. "(13:19) Cassel to Welker. and Hobbs scores on a return at 12:59.
Another one I remember from this year was Vikings vs. Jags. Viks scored TD's at 14:55 and 13:25, exactly a minute and a half.
Heck, just in week 14, Pittsburg scored two TD's in 24 seconds in the fourth quarter at 2:10 and at 1:51.
Not too bad, 3 from this season off the top of my head. The other from the top of my head is the 2006 Cardinals vs. Bears, the imfamous "they are who we thought they were" game. Two TD's in 42 seconds.

Jeez, 4 off the top of my head, and two from google in mere seconds.
I wish I could remember which press conference BB was asked about why he went for it on fourth when the game seemed out of reach. His response was angry and he basically said something like "Do you know how fast teams can score points in this league. Hopefully someone else can link that, cuz I've dedicated enough time on this. Either way, if you think that BB will let up if the is even the tiniest possible chance that a team could catch up... no matter how unlikely, you're insane.
