Matt Loede and Bob Baum…check your facts sons. The review had nothing to do with whether or not Winslow was pushed out of bounds; the review was to determine whether or not he landed in bounds. The only reason it took two minutes is because the official under the hood was struggling with not being able to come out and award the call to the games rightful winning team. When you report that the review was to determine whether or not he was pushed out of bounds, you’re lending credence to this faux victory. They can’t review if a player was pushed out. If they could, it would have been overturned. This officiating crew should have done what they did in the Browns/Ravens game and reverse the call based on a “discussion” rather than an official review. It might upset the NFL rules board applecart…but every analyst and fan spent the following week praising the refs for getting the call right. That won’t be the case this week… This is the second article I’ve read today that gets the action of the officials at the end of the game wrong! Matt Loede and Bob Baum…check your facts sons.
