Did Sorenson commit PI on the Lions final hail mary throw?
https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.co...ions-hail-may/
The last play of the Chiefs-Lions game included an attempt by Detroit to do what Green Bay did in that same building four years ago. The attempt failed. But the game now has something it didn’t have when Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers nearly grazed the rafters at Ford Field with the game-winning Hail Mary in 2015: Replay review for pass interference calls and non-calls. On Sunday, the visual evidence showed Chiefs safety Daniel Sorensen apparently shoving Lions receiver Marvin Jones to the ground as the ball was making its descent toward the cluster of players. No flag was thrown. Per a source with knowledge of the situation, NFL senior V.P. of officiating Al Riveron looked at the play but decided not to conduct a full-blown replay review. Riveron previously explained in an appearance on the #PFTPM podcast that replay review in Hail Mary situations will entail the same relaxed standard that applies on the field when a team launches a wing and a prayer. “For the most part, everyone understands what’s allowed, what’s not allowed on a Hail Mary,” Riveron said regarding an unofficial exception to pass interference that appears nowhere in the rulebook. “It’s probably fortunate that we’re not putting this play into a box because it’s something when we see it, and when I say ‘we’ I mean the football community from fans to coaches to players to officials, we’ll all agree that that’s a Hail Mary and we’ll understand what’s allowable and what’s not.” Some would say that an apparent shove to the ground of a receiver who may have had a shot at making the catch would justify at least a closer look at whether the shove happened deliberately or incidentally. If the play had been reviewed and overturned, the officials would have had to bring both teams out of the locker room for an untimed down from inside the Kansas City five yard line. Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce told PFT by phone after the game that he wouldn’t have been surprised by such an outcome, given the crazy, unpredictable way that the game unfolded. |

Yes, but it is usually not called on that kind of play. We might have dodged a bullet though...

Na. They usually let a little stuff go on those plays, and it looked to me like they were just locked up.

Agreed. Unless it's vs. us in the playoffs for the game.
We're totally going to get hosed on a ticky tack reviewed DPI or OPI call for all the marbles. You know it's coming. Then the next year the league will decide to drop reviewing OPI/DPI and we'll lose to an egregious call that would have been overturned. Somebody slap me dammit I'm becoming hysterical. |

Calling pass interference on a hail mary is like calling holding against the Patriots in the playoffs. It's not a formal rule, but it's never done.

The refs definitely missed the PI on Hitchens in the end zone. I really didn't like the refs ignoring that...then Patricia didn't challenge it.
That was the drive where they over-turned the TD then Stafford fumbled. If called correctly this game would have had an entirely different flow... It's great that Mahomes is a Superstar and all...but I dont want to start getting NE-style preferential treatment. The Lions get the worst officiating in the NFL...has been going on for years. Not cool... PI on a Hail Mary...thats a tough call. It would have to directly prevented a certain catch...it's a desperation play. |
