A good game by Banks on the biggest CFL stage would have definitely gotten him some (more) NFL interest. As an impending free agent, there is no way that wouldn't have been on his mind before, during, and after the game. The fact that he almost pulled it off -- but didn't -- could end up costing him some significant $ depending on how contract negotiations go.
At the very least, a winning TD in the closing seconds would have surely vaulted him into Grey Cup history. Instead, it'll end up being just another play by the second place team...

I'd rather see returns instead of fair catches IMO.
