You aren't mistaken, this has been in for a month or two.

1) Record the next show after the game.

2) Add a manual record for the channel of the game starting at the
endtime of the game with a duration of how much time you expect
you'll need.

3) Modify the endoffset time for the game in-progress then (hopefully
during a commercial) "Stop" the recording then click "Reactivate".
