This happened in a Monday Night game last year. I think it was KC and GB? Anyway, at the end of the first half the officials forgot to mark off a five yard penalty on the defence prior to the last play of the half. The last play was a field goal attempt that was short. As the teams started to leave the field, one of the players reminded the officials that they had not marked off the five yards. The crew brought the teams back on the field (and they had to chase off the half time entertainment that was starting to set up) and marched off the five yards and K tried a second kick (also no good).

They screwed up by bringing the team back and trying again. At that point, a play had been run and they could not correct the error. I'm sure they really got dinged by the league for two screw ups on one penalty.

Poor Bernie.
