Anyone noticed playclock stopped at 9 seconds at the end of Saints/Commanders game

After the Saints completion to the two yard line. A line judge came in signaling a clock stoppage when the Saints had no more time outs. It stopped for about 3-4 seconds which gave the Saints time to line up and spike the ball. Looks to me the game should have ended at the end of that completion. This was truly a gift (finally) to the Saints, It is a shame they couldn't pull out the win.
