A fact from 3:16 game appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 8 April 2024 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
Did you know... that in the 3:16 game, Tim Tebow threw for 316 yards with 31.6 yards per completion, the ratings for the game were 31.6, and the opposing team's time of possession was 31 minutes 6 seconds?
The following is an archived discussion of the DYK nomination of the article below. Please do not modify this page. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as this nomination's talk page, the article's talk page or Wikipedia talk:Did you know), unless there is consensus to re-open the discussion at this page.

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)[reply]
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)[reply]
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 5412913:56, 20 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I believe that by responding to this review, you will make the article look and feel more encyclopedic, thus improving the likelihood of AFD survival. I would put some work into the article. They are even helping dig up sources for you. By adding a wider variety of WP:RS you also improve its chances of survival. I have had people withdraw opposition in AFDs merely out of response to article improvement. E.g. see Peter Patton (basketball)'s recent AFD.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 21:56, 20 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
According to the 2011 Steelers article there are more HoFers Noll and Rooney at least. I did not click through the rest of the blue links because I did not recognize their names. I did not look at the Broncos article.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 23:44, 21 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. Slowly adding these things. Just found another weird coincidence. Tebow played the 2009 BCS National Championship Game on the 8th, and this playoff game 3 years later on the 8th. Making it 3 years and 8+8. But I do not think it fits as well as the obvious stats and maybe seems like a reach, just like the Steelers last three regular season games margin of loss and victory is 48 pts - so 3 games with an average of 16. Maybe it starts to feel like OR? Lightburst (talk) 19:40, 21 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
margin of victory (Wiktionary) is a real stat not entirely OR. Total calendar dates (8+8) not a real stat, IMO. I would honestly include both team MOVs. I guess the 2nd one is your call, but I'd present it and leave it to the reader to decide if it is a real coincidence.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 23:32, 21 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@TonyTheTiger: I have been holding back a bit to see the outcome of the AfD. At the same time copyediting and adding relevant details about why this particular game is notable. It looks like it may be kept. I also may not be grasping what information is needed for the box. I wonder if you might consider editing it to your preference?

Done why not "in that order"? Also after 31:06 what about (31 minutes, 6 seconds as a way to present it without the intervening 0). Also, split total yards and yard/completion into separate lines.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 17:13, 21 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@TonyTheTiger: I did go through and use several that were relevant. Beanie had some very good ones. I also took suggestions about the items that made the game notable beyond the 3:16, like first playoff game under the new 2010 overtime rule. Lightburst (talk) 14:30, 23 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Because there is so much to do, I nearly failed this article. However, since the article is short, I'll stick around and wait to see how you respond. I'll put this on hold. This will be a first pass. I will have to come back through after you add a lot of the missing stuff.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 02:13, 20 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I have what I understood it to mean in the second sentence of the lead. But I may be confused about the request. I will add the words in that order in case that is what you meant. Lightburst (talk) 14:41, 28 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
