Your football scenario works when there's only one minute of time left; not three. It can very well happen.
3:00 is 180 seconds.
A couple running plays, one first down, and a few kneels and the game is over.
35x2 = 70
35x3 = 105
175 seconds
That is not an exact number due to circumstances during a game. I'd give or take a little.
As long as a team wasn't stupid, they should have 2-3 timeouts left so take 2 of those 35 seconds off the clock. Also, a couple of running plays for a first down and you say it only takes 2? In a situation where the defense knows they want to run they are going to play the run D all the way and make it tough for them to even get back to the line of scrimmage, let a lone get 5 yards back to back. Maybe they could run a play action, but it could get picked off or make the clock stop if its incomplete. They could be stopped and the offense could get the ball back and score.
