What happened?
Didn’t see much football today - what happened?
Colts went for 2 and the win late in the game, made it, then like 5 minutes after the play the refs threw a flag for OPI. It was a legal pick play that was clearly within 1 yard on the LOS.

On Redzone they had already switched to another game then the guy was like, "Wait, switch back to the Bills-Colts game, I guess there's a flag after the play...." Assumed it was excessive celebration or something. And then they call a bogus OPI.

It was bizarre. I've never seen anything like it.

What happened?
Colts were 1 behind with seconds left in the game. They pass for the 2 point conversion, to take a 1 point lead. The ref throws a very suspiciously late flag, after the catch, calling a pick play. But the alleged pick happened at the line of scrimmage. In the snow. Where neither the offensive guy or the defensive guy moved that much.

So it was a bad call with a misapplication of the rules. The call was made after the play (and the game) was over. And it forced Indy to try a 43 yard XP in the worst possible conditions, which Vinitari, of course, hit.

It was one of the worst end of game calls I've seen.

Seahawks with a classy ending. One of them tried to climb into the stands to fight a fan.

Now the fans were douchey and were throwing bottles of water. But still

I would not have punted it I was the Rams. 4th and 10 was doable. You don't make it - you can still hold them 3 and out and have time to get a TD.

I just don't like giving up the ball voluntarily when a single 1st down ends the game.

He got hurt on a play that put himself in obvious danger that was called back by penalty. Sucks.

Second time that has happened this year at the end of a game. Good thing for gamblers that it was LA -2 rather than Phil -2.

Oh crap - forgot about the over/under!!!!!

True to form, the ESPN gamecenter first had the Rams scoring the touchdown on a fumble return and gave them the win

Someone just won/lost a fantasy week because of that!
I went from needing 20 points by Brady tomorrow night to needing 26 by Brady because of that. Will probably cost me the week. Also had Kamara, and left Cooper Kupp on my bench in favor of Mike Evans. Been an awesome time.

The Rams loss leaves the door ajar for the Seahawks. Had the Rams held on, they'd have a 2-game lead, so a final head-to-head loss would've been nearly fatal to Seattle. Now the head-to-head winner controls their own fate.

This game had some head scratchers but what happened in BUF today was corrupt and there should be an investigation.
Indy spiked the ball at the 25 rather than run two plays against a reeling Buf defense, settling for a 43 yard impossible to do twice FG attempt. Plus the penalty you refer to, although a ridiculous call given the situation, happened at the goal line (I.T was plowed and easy to see) so I.T was not within one yard of scrimmage.
The missed DPI on Jax on 4th down was a horrible non call and probably cost SEA the game. The Pats could use JAX to lose
