Message: [QUOTE="intlzncster, post: 2542626, member: 56"] Huh, a number I listened to said the opposite or judgement call. If you go by the rules, the call was correct. 1. Defender did not play the ball. Didn't turn head until last moment. 2. Defender then makes body contact and runs Cooks out of bounds. You have to allow the receiver to run his route. Unless you're playing the ball. 3. The hand fighting is irrelevant as it went both ways and was not part of the call. Former Head of Officiating for the NFL explains with game footage (go to 38 seconds for relevant bit): [URL='https://www.foxsports.com/nfl/video/1142368323772']Dean Blandino: Officiating was not the story of either Championship game (VIDEO)[/URL] Another former head of officiating Mike Pereira agreed. And he rips officiating all the time. It actually wasn't a very hard call to make. And I do know for a fact, that if the roles were switched, and it was a Patriots called for defensive pass interference, everyone would have been totally fine with it. Is what it is. [/QUOTE]
