No "sugar coating", reversing what actually happened (a great, heads-up defensive play at a critical instant) because of (at the very best) a gnat's eyelash, nit picking overly technical, inconsequential, DEBATABLE assumption, would have been a tragedy.



As the Detroit Head Coach has suggested, "stuff happens" that game is over, next week's game is coming.

Part of being a professional official is transparency and accountability. He was undeniably incorrect.
