Nope.

The refs.... technically.... made the winning play.

That cannot happen.

I mean, Sean Hochuli once saw three offside calls in a row when a team (49ers?) confronted the Eagles' Tush Push sequence. He said that he'd award the touchdown if it happened again.

That's fine. This is not, however.

Wait, wait...

So, a referee's discretion vs. a rule on the books, and you say the latter is "the refs technically making the winning play"?

It's a rule. On the books. The ref had no choice in the matter.

True. But the ball did not cross the goal line successfully because of a player moving it.

Tnat was the point. And that point is stupid as hell.

As an Eagles fan, I will never forget this moment
