He didn't botch the enforcement. The IG happened on 1st down. The next play was 2nd and 20.

He DID botch the announcement, however.

Ooops, my bad. Thanks for the correction.

He also then botched not correcting his own announcement. Could be on him, or the crew; I'm not sure about what the NFL feels about that situation.

Eh, I don't know. I'm not sure you want him correcting that particular announcement. He said, "Repeat 2nd down". Do you want him to stop things just to say, "oh, sorry bout that. The previous play was first down, and the penalty carried a Loss of Down, so it's still 2nd down. Well, err... not STILL 2nd down, but it's NOW 2nd down... err.... you know what I mean, right?"

I think he said "repeat the down". Since the graphic previously indicated 1st down, they still think it's 1st down.

If he said "repeat 2nd down", then not only did he screw up the announcement, he screwed up (in his head) the enforcement for that foul, and what down the previous play was.

"Correction on the down, the intentional grounding penalty carries with it a loss of down. The down is now (insert down here)."
