8:59 2nd qtr.

The officials rule a Jimmy Graham fumble and Eagles recovery.   Bill Vinovich goes under the hood.   It appears that Graham’s shin is down before the ball was knocked out.   It was a bang-bang play but Vinovich, properly in my opinion, saw enough evidence to overturn the call from an Eagles recovery, to a fourth and inches for the Saints.

12:11 | 1st Qtr.

Drew Brees is flagged for a false start after bobbing his head during the snap count on 4th and 1.   This action will be flagged as it simulates a snap and has been a point of emphasis in the league.   Brees was flagged for a false start on two consecutive plays in Week 8.
