This rule came into play at the end of the New Orleans @ Minnesota game: SECTION 8 EXTENSION OF A PERIOD OR A HALF ... ARTICLE 2. PERIOD EXTENDED. *At the election of the opponent*, a period may be extended for one untimed down, if any of the following occurs during a down during which time in the period expires: ... (c) If a touchdown is made on the last play of a period, the Try attempt shall be made (except during a sudden-death period).
It could be argued that the Saints' departure from the field, once Diggs scored, implied they would not choose to do this, given that even should a point-after attempt be blocked, recovered, and run back, the winning margin would have only been reduced to three.
