EDM go for the two point convert...and the Stamps intercept it and go 111 yards. Stamps get the 2 points for the convert, and instead of down 1, go up 1, and win the game. One of the best Stamps moments I've seen, given the opponent and the outrage how the refs kept throwing flags on that last drive.

For a commercial, its a late amazing comeback, as well as a truly unique Canadian play...in the NFL, now that they've gone back to the 2 point convert, if a similar INT happens, its blown dead, the 2 points are only possible for the TD scoring team.
One of the only cases in football where you saw a team just score to take the lead (and in the final minute), then have to be kicked off to by the team who just gave up the lead.

One of the CFL rules that I love.
