Singletary could have walked into the end zone for a touchdown. The score would have stopped the clock and given the Browns the ball back with 2:23 left in the game. The total score would have been at either 42 or 43 points in that scenario. Instead, not scoring allowed the Giants to run out the clock and win the game.
Some NFL fans had bet that the total score would be over 37.5. The total score was finalized at 36 points.
