re: Penalties

The ineligible receiver penalty while only 5 yards had a huge impact on the game - it took us out of field goal range, lead to a punt rather than a field goal at minimum and gave Houston enough time to score. That penalty alone was a huge swing in the game - a possible 14 point swing.

I did not see an ineligible player downfield on Sharp's reception.

Look closely a covered eligible number went down field. If not it’s an illegal formation so either way it comes back

I'm looking closely at the formation.

Seven players are on the line of scrimmage. This is a legal formation.

Trey'Dez Green is on the line of scrimmage, covered, and ineligible.

Bauer Sharp is off of the line of scrimmage and eligible.



Trey'Dez Green and the five linemen are behind the line of scrimmage when the ball is thrown.

There is no ineligible player downfield.

Yes, they missed it even after discussing it at length

It did likely affect the outcome of the game. Instead of leading 17-14 at H, they trailed 21-14.

But this crew of officials was in line with most everything else in this game. The contestants and announcers alike.

It wasn’t supposed to be taken seriously.

Bauer Sharp was not covered up, therefore, he was an eligible receiver and the catch should have stood.
