the Browns are adding it to their playbook now. In their version everything goes identically except they run into the wrong endzone.

This play is not uncommon in college and NFL. It just rarely works because tackling is much better at those levels.

Did the clock run out?

Yes, I've seen this a number of times, esp. at the College level. NFL tackling is too good to sustain that play. Actually halfway through the vid, I started watching the defense and some were just standing around, barely moving to one side or another, a step or two. Some of that was probably from utter bewilderment as nobody trained for that type of play.

And rugby is a far more exciting game to watch in any case. As is Aussie Rules Football.

The player didn’t touch the ball down in the end zone — no try for him!

This is more like coarse rugby -- see Michael Green's 1967 masterpiece The Art of Coarse Rugby.
