In a breathless finish, Carr threw what was initially ruled to be a 29-yard touchdown pass to receiver Jared Cook with 16 seconds left in the fourth quarter. However, after a video review, Cook was ruled down at the one-yard line.
Crabtree then caught a one-yard touchdown pass with three seconds left, but he was called for offensive pass interference.
Carr then tossed an incomplete pass on the next play, but Chiefs safety Ron Parker was called for holding.
The strange sequence of no time on the clock events continued when Chiefs safety Eric Murray was called for holding on another Carr incomplete pass, extending the game one more play.
