I already gave out the answers. Chiefs and Raiders.

Mr. Top- check out the box score of the Rams/Raiders game. The Rams went ahead 20-13 on a TD after time expired in the 3rd quarter. Fact;

The game was tied at 13, if the Rams scored on the last play of the quarter, doesn't that mean they led 20-13 through three quarters?

Every box score I check shows the Rams leading 20-13 entering the fourth quarter

They didn't play a snap trailing until the 4th quarter.

The Raiders trailed entering the fourth quarter, I don't get what I'm missing here
 
Its a semantics argument. TECHNICALLY Rams led in the 3rd quarter. But if you word it as 'what team hasnt trailed during any snap (which technically isnt true since they snap the ball for the extra point).

But its one of those points people like to use showing how an 0-3 team might not be THAT bad. Or it could also be twisted as why are they 0-3 when theyre going into 4th quarters with leads or tied?


3RD QUARTER

G.Zuerlein extra point is GOOD Center-J.McQuaide Holder-J.Hekker.

Only one team this year has never trailed thru the first 3 quarters of any game this year. Who is that team?

The Raiders were trailing the Rams 20-13 when the first snap of the 4th quarter took place

They never took a snap trailing before the 4th quarter. Extra points are not counted as plays.

Your original question never mentioned a snap, you posted "Only one team this year has never trailed thru the first three quarters of any game this year. Who is that team?" The Raiders were trailing 20-13 thru three quarters, obviously this is a trick question, but going by the way you worded it in your first post, the Raiders were trailing thru three quarters

The last play of the 3rd Qtr started at :03 - Goff to Cupp 8-yard TD. The XP is kicked then as its untimed. The 1st play of the 4th Qtr was the kickoff.

I like the riddle, based on this fact. When the 3q clock flipped to 0:00 (at first), game was still tied.

Legit, in my book.
