Furthermore, it makes ZERO sense in a post-season game. They need to scrap that rule; it’s painfully anticlimactic.

I've heard the same thing about the tiebreaker. Of course in this particular game the spread was most commonly 4.5, 5 or 5.5, I believe. I know there were people who weren't happy to see them just take a knee.
I included that more to suggest that if that's the biggest thing people have to say about the officiating, the game must have been pretty well-officiated.
