Bro, how much more evidence do people need to understand that the refs are beholden to the NFL, TV, and Vegas before ever attempting to actually be an impartial judge to an actual athletic contest?
It was literally directly in front of the official who was obviously staring directly at it.
I seriously think that the officials had been directed to basically flag Dallas back into the game (otherwise it would've been a blowout in the 1st half), and when it was obvious by the TV camera angle that the ref was directly staring at the call that was obviously blown did the NFL decide to call down from New York and change it.
Funniest part about all this? I remember some years ago some real intellectuals on this very forum making fun of me for suggesting that the officials wore earpieces that received instructions from NY NFL office.
Someone can find it if they want.
It's pretty much common knowledge now...
