Bizarre
It was a crazy end to the SD at PIT game this afternoon as Troy Polamalu appeared to have created a turnover on the last play of the game. He retrieved the ball and ran it into the endzone for a touchdown; however, in the most bizarre ruling since the “Hochuli Incident” in week 2 (also involving SD, hmmm), the officiating crew ruled that there had been a forward pass and therefore the TD was not counted. PIT was already in the lead (11-10) and they won the game anyway, so everybody went home happy.
Except for anyone that had taken PIT (- 4.5) to win against the spread (full disclosure, that includes me!).
The “forward pass” was actually a flip pass behind the SD players back, and it is impossible to see how the officials ruled that it was a forward pass. There was even a booth review on the play and the ruling of a forward pass stood! See for yourself:
Of course I’m particularly peeved because if the TD had counted then I would have won the week outright already. As it is I needed WAS to beat DAL tonight, but now I have to win the tiebreaker on Monday night vs Steve. We both have BUF to win, so it comes down to the total score. He’s got 45, I’ve got 47…. Oh well, I guess that’s how it goes sometimes!
