Is a 3rd and 12 a fluke ? 3rd and 18 ? anything over 22 ? What about 4th down ? Does the flukeiness go up ? I mean the top athletes in the world still have to abide by the fluke handbook, I guess ?

It'd be a fluke if a defender slips on the turf making a WR wide open 2 defenders crashed into each other making a WR wide open or the ball is tipped into the hands of a receiver who is able to pick up the conversion because of the tip. Things like that would make the play a fluke.

Things like throwing a deep pass in an attempt to pick up a 3rd and 27 are not. Hell, even throwing a screen pass that sees the receiver juking and spinning his way to a first down on 3rd and 27 is NOT a fluke.

Just because a conversion is unlikely to happen does not make the play a fluke.
