The thing that stood out to me was that after a couple of dicey calls (OOB), the officials looked truly rattled. They didn't seem to know what to call, given that things had gotten a little loose. It looked to me like they were thinking: "Oo, missed that one. And that one wasn't really too much worse than the first one. There's some contact, but I just let the last one go. . ." and so on while the contact was obviously affecting the plays.
About halfway through the 4th quarter, they forgot the time-tested adage: "Call the obvious."
Just my impressions.
