Championship leaders QPR will have to wait at least another week before officially securing promotion to the Premier League for the first time in 15 years.
Hull earned a point at Loftus Road with a late leveller in a 1-1 draw.
Meanwhile, Norwich scored a last-gasp winner against Derby to leave Rangers needing another point to rubber-stamp the seventh promotion of Neil Warnock's managerial career.
"I'm disappointed not to have tied it up but it doesn't surprise me with this team, we keep things going until the end," said Warnock.
"It's disappointing but they have done brilliantly. We are five points clear (of Norwich in second) with two games to go, you can't ask for much more.
"I think the fans know the goal difference is good and it's a healthy position to be in."
So Rangers may be virtually home, but that did not stop Warnock laying into his players.
"To concede a goal from a kick from our keeper, it's Sunday league stuff really," he said.
"I had a few words in the dressing room, it was not acceptable. But we'll go out and try to win our last two games now."
Hull managed to extend their unbeaten run on the road to an impressive 17 matches, but they are now five points short of the play-offs.
"It's probably too much," admitted boss Nigel Pearson.
"We have to win our games and need others to slip up.
"But we've made great strides this season and it's important we finish on a positive note."
