As for the Titans/Steelers game, I had no problem with the running into the kicker call, it had to be done, and Nedney DID do a great acting job. It even looked convincing enough for me in slow motion. However, as much as I appreciate the effort to get it right, I do think that a playoff white hat in the NFL should know if a play is eligible to be reviewed. I thought it looked and sounded bad when he sort of stuttered and stammered through the explanation of what he was doing, and why he had to call upstairs for help.

It was a bad call because it was clearly a questionable call and it was HUGE in deciding the outcome of the game.

Here is the rule to support my statement...NFHS Rule 9-4-4c.
A defensive player shall neither run into the kicker nor holder, which is contact that displaces the kicker or holder without roughing; nor block, tackle or charge into the kicker of a scrimmage kick, or the place-kick holder, other than when:
c. Contact is slight and is partially caused by movement of the kicker.
