Sounds like a classic of the NFL covering for the ref's poor judgment.

But they got the play right, didn't they?

From the replays that were shown here in Chicago, it looked like a catch and most of the sportscasters agreed that the video did not have the evidence to overturn the call on the field.

IMHO, in retrospect, the only error was that the ref should have instantly waived his arms when he felt the buzzer. Even the head of officials later said that he wished it had happened that way.

Had the ref waived his arnms immediately, the Cleveland fans would not have mistakenly believed that a play had occurred. Of course, hindsight is 20/20.

OH irony of ironies!

The Brown fans are pissed that they didn't win on a bad call.
