Well looks like we have our first major goof up by our NFL buddies.

Chiefs/Broncos game, if you didn't see it I will describe the situation.

Chiefs on offense are short on time and with 3 seconds they run a play which is unsuccessful. But the Broncos were offsides so they have one untimed down, so they decide to attempt a field goal. The ball is snapped from the 45 and the field goal is unsucessful, Broncos and Chiefs start to leave the field for halftime. But Trent Green(Chiefs QB) tells the referee they never enforced the 5 yard penalty, he is correct.

Most of the teams have already left the field so they have to get the teams to come back out to attempt another untimed down. They respotted the ball which moved it to the 35, incorrectly enforcing a 10 yard penalty. Mike Shannahan(DenverÂ’s Coach) has a picture of the original down showing that it should be on the 40. So Bernie Kukar the WH has to call up (I assume) the replay booth to ask where the ball should be placed. Chiefs attempt the FG a second time and are again unsucessful.

What are your comments, if any?

Now for a modified situation. Let's say that Chiefs made the FG the first time but someone on the broncos noticed the mistake, do you take the score off the board and replay the down?
