In the Vikings at Bears game, a kick off landed in the field of play and bounced untouched into the end zone. DJ #53 was the closest official and instead of blowing the play dead as a touchback, she watched the KR pick up the ball and run. She wound the clock and followed the KR up the field.
With the rule changes on touchbacks designed to reduce the number of injuries on kick off runbacks, is this considered a big miss that allowed a “dangerous” play to continue or just a simple reminder that gets mentioned in their team meetings this week?
The call was corrected after the play with R #122 announcing “after further discussion” which I thought you’ve mentioned is code for when the league steps in from New York.

Second Miami Touchdown – how in the world have DJ, LJ and U missed a snap with the ball being parallel to the goal lines?

Gee, nothing about the world’s best part timers coming through for the Brown’s game winning drive? Or are phantom calls not worthy of comment?

I’d be curious about your take on two critical plays in the SF-CLE game:
1) PJ Walker’s “incomplete” pass that on replay, appears the ball got a bit loose once contact was intiated by Oliver, and the slight underhand motion seem moot. Should be reversed to a fumble.
2) Unnecessary Roughness penalty on Gipson on 3rd and 10 late in the 4th…that was a terrible call. What does a defender have to do? He did everything right – led was his shoulder and hit the receiver on his body. That call was a bad call.
