It is the defense's right. I wish defenses would hold up the offensive players with the ball, and keep them moving forward to use up the last few seconds of the clock, and keep the offensive from getting off another play.
I don't think I've ever seen an instance where the officials actually have blown a play dead when it shouldn't be called dead in the final few minutes. Not when it's totally clear that the offensive will benefit by an early call.
