Yeah that was pretty bad.

The wing official at the top of the screen (Forget which sideline it was) had a spot that looked like a first down on the 2nd and 5 play. (Or was blatantly close enough to measure it) When the Umpire went to spot it, he looked at the other wing guy at the bottom of the screen which moved the spot back about half a yard. The moved the chains and the down box at the bottom of the screen and the down box showed first down, then after the incompletion they brought the chains back and put 4th down on the box.

This was about as big of a screw up as the play earlier this year where the QB tried to center the ball and the crew let the clock run out and didn't let the offense run another play.
