To me, this play was far more egregious than the Hochuli play. For an NFL referee (and the rest of the crew too) to misapply a rule is horrible in my opinion.

Well, it's a rules knowledge and application error rather than a mechanical/judgmental one, right? So it's a bit different. But, yeah, because it happened when it did, where it did, between the teams it did and because it's not seen as having given the game from one team to the other, there's no outcry.

And it's confusing to the average fan, as well. Which factors into it.
