Its tecmo time!

Well, entertainment is hard to judge, nevertheless I think I managed to improve on Arc's published run. Of course, being 5min 32 seconds faster certainly helps :)

I took a similar idea of making it a close game. In addition, I try to make the most absurd game of football anyone has ever seen. I minimized scoring as much as a felt possible (2-0 would have been the fastest outcome but less interesting). I maximized the time that the players are one the field since that eats as much clock as quickly as possible.

In the process of making it shorter, I try to keep the entertainment going with the usual wild plays, fumbles, missed tackles etc.

I picked the Steelers & the Seahawks in honor of possibly the most absurd Superbowl ever; where there were wild plays, questionable calls, and quite unexpected outcomes ;)
