Referees made huge mistake at end of Commanders-Saints game

The clock stopped with 9 seconds left for a few seconds. The Saints ran up and spiked the ball with 3 seconds left in order to run another play.

Refs stopped the game clock for 4 seconds when it should have been running

freezes at :09 while play clock ticks from :39 to :35

So that's two that we know of, counting the time they didn't realize the play clock had run out on the Commanders. Speaking of, isn't there a ref who is responsible for watching the play clock?

Guys, I have to confess - this was 100% my fault. I took the Commanders and gave 7 points.

Had I not, the Saints wouldn't have covered the spread.

I heard the accidental pause was 2.7 seconds, which would put the Saints snap at 0.3 seconds. However, realistically Rattler or some Saints player was probably able to glance at the clock and see how much time they had. If they had 3 seconds less, I believe there is at least a 50% chance they could have acted 1 second faster while seeing that and having more urgency, and got the ball spiked with 1 second left.
