I was at the game in the endzone corner the direction the last play was coming, opposite side (Neb side). There were non-eligibles from both teams on the field.
I thought the game ended properly then and I still do.
Since there were no flags dropped, what sort of Public Address should be expected from the Ref to explain an albeit convoluted play, but still a play absent a flag?

Just because TV can detect it and Mike Torico says it doesn't make it part of the game for the officials to grab the mike and explain a detailed no-call, opening them up to even more scrutiny, fair and unfair.

I am in no way giving the announcers the right of way. They are idiots that usually speak too soon. What I was referring to was the reports that came out after the game from the Sun Belt Officials association. They said the play was covered and enforced properly. Saying all fouls on that play would be ruled dead ball fouls enforced from the succeeding spot. So, the officials did the right thing...So from that statement there should have been flags and a explanation of the fouls on the play.
