As the previous person said, the ball was going to the 2 no matter what. DPI is a spot foul if the foul is fewer than 15 yards from the previous spot or the 2 yard line or a 15 yard penalty. The only time it's half the distance is if the foul is on a play that starts inside the 2.

Yes, I agree the R's reporting was inaccurate, however it had no effect on the spotting of the ball after the foul.

I've seen this posted all over the Internet since the play happened, many times by officials, which just goes to show that people only think that the rule set they're familiar with is the right one.
