Canadian Ruling

Flag is dropped on the 3, TD doesn't count and 15 yds are assessed against the offense. By the way, this is a playoff game with lots of emotion.
Observation: To me, it looked like an OOO that wanted to be seen. I have always been taught that any official is there to make sure the game is fair to both sides, not to be seen. This seemed like a "Look at me, I read the new rule and want to show my knowledge"
Enlighten me and teach me.

Not a chance in hell that I'm flagging this.
