A team can suck for 58 minutes, but get second and third chances to get back in the game when the clock hardly runs at all. No need for clock management or time outs. No need to go out of bounds. You can still run the ball.
A hard-earned 12 point lead should be safe with two minutes left.
Time should not have more or less value depending on the stage of the game.

This is a rarity. Coming back from 2-TDs down is not that common in the last few minutes so when it does happen it is exciting and worth talking about. I think it adds to the excitement and ensures that the avergae fan has a reason to stay in their seats until game is over unlike the NFL when they can shake hands with 30 seconds on the clock and walk off the field.
