It's not the refs job to use "better judgement", "common sense" and help played "avoid contact". It's their job to REF THE F*CING GAME, which means enforcing the rules, not intrepreting them on a sitation to situation basis (that always seem to benefit NY and Pitt and the like, never Arizona or Tennesee).

Wtf are you talking about? He was running with 2 defenders infront of him, looked back and saw one coming up from behind, and went to the ground. He then put the ball on the ground and started towards the huddle.
It's in the ****ing rule book. He went to the ground and made no attempt at forward progress. Play dead.
