A member of the Philadelphia Eagles, who wanted to remain unidentified, told me that towards the end of Sunday's overtime period against the Bengals, the player asked an NFL official standing on the Eagles' sideline whether there would be extra time, in addition to the overtime.  The player paraphrased the official's reponse, "There's one more.  It's not over," thus indicating at the very least that the official himself gave the player the impression play would continue following the first OT.

According to the NFL's official game summary, Allen Baynes (#56) served as the contest's side judge; however, the Eagles player could not recall the official's name or number.
