ok, american football fans, i'm trying to get into this sport but i am unable to get a sense of the strategy because i don't get the fucking rules.

last night the saints are winning 15-9, they give the 2 minute warning, i'm thinking if the vikings get an interception and score & dont get their field goal blocked they could win 16-15, right? i mean the last 5 minutes of the 2nd quarter took a long-ass time to finish. but then everyone stands around, the clock goes down, they pretend to play, stop again, and with a minute to go everyone starts slapping each other like the game is over. and it is over.

what the fuck is that? could someone please explain? how does the time work here? if clock manipulation is part of the strategy, how does it work? i remember also that a little before that they had x seconds to make a play and the clock was ticking. very fucking confusing.
