But the larger point is not so much to criticize the officials as to ask for consistency in the rule.

A body flip into the end zone and excessive celebration AFTER the score ought to be discouraged.

Highstepping or diving INTO the end zone is not worth penalizing.

The rule as it stands is ripe for inconsistency.
It was not the "same" play and if you are unable to differentiate between the two then it is a good thing you are not reffing football.
