Monday night football: les arbitres de remplacement dans l'eau chaude...




 Combien de partisans espèrent le retour sur le terrain des arbitres réguliers? Assurément plus ce matin!

 "The Seattle Seahawks beat the Green Bay Packers 14-12 Monday night in a game that ended with another controversial decision by the NFL's replacement officials that could increase the outcry to get the regular game officials back on the field.

 The Seahawks, playing at home, trailed 12-7 before scoring their final touchdown on a 20-yard pass from Russell Wilson to Golden Tate in the end zone as the clock expired. On the play in the end zone, Packers defensive back M.D. Jennings appeared to intercept the pass and had both hands wrapped around the ball with the ball pulled into his chest. Tate, the Seattle receiver, had one arm on the ball as they fell to the ground. Two officials in the end zone gave competing signals; one signaled a touchdown and the other signaled a clock stoppage, indicating a change of possession and an interception.

 The play was reviewed on video, but the play was ruled a touchdown.

 In addition, before he made the catch in the end zone, Tate shoved Packers defender Sam Shields in the back, which would typically draw an offensive pass interference penalty.

 "Those were two of the worst calls to end a game that I can recall," said ESPN broadcaster Jon Gruden, the former Super Bowl-winning coach of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
