I've seen it happen a few times in the NFL. IIRC, though, they all occurred when the team about to score a TD was already ahead and the TD would've basically iced the game. I can't recall ANY team that was losing the game not score intentionally when they had an open path to the end zone.

I agree with the thought that the offense should've snapped the ball when the play clock was at 5 or less and that AJ should not have run out of bounds, but aside from that, the offense NEEDED to score and it did. You can't blame this loss on the offense - aside from them not scoring at all in the 2nd half until that drive.
