All NFL games have a camera on the clock for review purposes. ESPN does use a graphic clock (MNF used to as well), but also has a camera on the clock. The shot superimposed upon the screen was obviously a camera on the clock.

Maybe you need to write the NFL a letter. It seems like only then you will be satisfied. BTW, the Cowboys won the game. And for me the Bears lost the game, so I am happy.
You don't sound happy. Not sure why it bothers you so much to have someone ask if the NFL offices have made any comment regarding this situation. I'm not trying to become "satisfied", nor am I complaining. I am WONDERING, and am curious as to whether this has been mentioned or addressed. In my replies to you, I was trying to civilly answer your uninformed question, since you admitted you didn't see the situation. I was trying to clarify what actually happened to you. I see now the error of my ways.

Also ... not sure what the eventual winner of this contest has to do with anything. I'm asking about procedure on this particular play, and was also asking if anyone had wondered about 4 other calls during the game (2 for Dallas, 2 for Chicago). My allegiance or lack thereof really has nothing to do with it. It's not like I'm blaming the referees for anything in any direction.

I'm truly not sure why this seems to irk you so much.
