Isn't it amazing how many of these plays, which are allowed to continue to conclusion, turn into to touchdowns? Do you know why that is? BECAUSE ALL OF THE PLAYERS ON THE FIELD KNOW WHAT HAPPENED - they simply stop playi g...The 7 officials working the game don't know that they play was over!!!!!!!
