Reason they were able to be (for the most part) historically accurate with movies like 'We Are Marshall' and 'Friday Night Lights' was because the films focus more on real life issues than they do the actual season. 'We Are Marshall' deals more with the plane crash and how the surviving members of the team and the community dealt with it. And Friday Night Lights focuses more on how crazy Texas is about highschool football.
In the Will Smith movie, Concussion, there's a scene in which allegedly Andre Waters is confronted by an angry Dave Duerson, the latter doubting that a problem exists. That may or may not have taken place, but it fits neatly with the plot since both ended up committing suicide due to the effects.
What's weird about Two Minute Warning is that before NBC showed it on TV, 40 minutes of new footage were filmed and the plot involving the sniper was changed to him simply being a decoy for an art theft. Supposedly, the network though the original version was too violent, with the plot itself unnerving. Didn't help, since both versions stunk.
