It's kind of like those basketball highlights you see where one team scores with 3 seconds left and starts celebrating, meanwhile the other team finds a way to get the ball inbound and score.
It's not over until it's over. And you should always play that way...and not assume they won't rush.

I think it's a difference of sports. I'm not in tuned with basketball as much as some of you guys might be, but from the times when I do watch like playoffs for example, basketball games are typically always close. When you've got 5 seconds left, and it's a close game, you usually have an opportunity to win by scoring the last points...
In Football rather, it takes a helluva lot more effort in the last few seconds to get the ball back and score. Of course scoring doesn't happen as often as it does in Basketball. And it's not necessarily a matter of playing until the game is over, it's a matter of respect too.
