If you take every game lost by <7 points "a W if not for one play", there's only going to be like 4 losing teams (instead of the current 15) left in the NFL, so nearly every bad team's fans can play that game.
But we're not talking about a less than one score game. We're talking about literally one single play in each of those 3 losses. Stop of 4th and 16, game over. Hit FG in OT, game over. Convert 2pt conversion, game...well, the game was "likely" over. Maybe.
