Comment The 3.16 yards per rush stat looks to be in error. Tebow ran 10 times for 50 yards.[1] Harper J. Cole (talk) 16:14, 4 March 2024 (UTC)

I removed that bit from the hook @Harper J. Cole: It was from the hook source Harry Connick who must have got it wrong based on your information and this ESPN source. I think the rest is all cited and the bit about the rushing yards is quoted. I will add a note of correction after Connick's quote. Thanks! Lightburst (talk) 16:29, 4 March 2024 (UTC)

QPQ: Done.

Overall: Mostly looks good, but a few things that should be worked on: (1) the first hook states that his team's time of possession was 31.6 – however, it was the Steelers who had that possession and it was 31:06 (31.6 isn't how time of possession is written); (2) the second hook states that it was as a result of an NFL game, but the source says that it was because of the college football championship; and (3) I've heard of this game before for being the shortest overtime win in NFL history – that is probably relevant and should be added.

BeanieFan11 Thanks for the review. That is right! I corrected alt0 and it was already correct in the article. I also added the shortest overtime to the article and I will cross off ALT1 because this article is not about the college game. Lightburst (talk) 23:51, 4 March 2024 (UTC)

I think this is good now.

The first green tick was a confusion as the message is 'good to go' but then notes that there are still issues, so has been removed. The second approval has been commented out temporarily in place of . Cheers, ——Serial Number 54129 13:56, 20 March 2024 (UTC)
