How does this make sense?

This is how the Atlanta at Jacskonville game ended:
Atlanta's ball on Jacksonville's 4 yard line. First and goal. :09 left in
the fourth quarter. The score is Atlanta 25, Jacksonville 29.
The pass from Atlanta's QB1 #2 Bryce Young was incomplete. Second and goal.
That was STOPCLOK (2057) against Jacksonville's MN33RDRC (2053).
If the game could record a STOPCLOK play being calleed, why wasn't there at least ONE mores econd left to call the game's final play by the ATL offense? And if the clock really did run out, the STOPCLOK play should not be called vbefore time runs out and should noit be recorded.
IKn what world of football, in 2026 or even in 1997 when the game was programmed, is NINE seconds not enough time to spike the ball to leave time for one more play?
This is a play that stands under PNFL rules because we can't do anything about it. But it sucks that NINE seconds is not enouigh time to stop the clock. RIDICLULOUS.
