I'm not at all sure that the ball was not moving on that Rod Smith TD as he went to the ground. Maybe it was, maybe it wasn't.
But the larger question is, why was the play not reviewed upstairs? The booth officials literally have 4 minutes of potential "work" in an entire game. Is it too much to ask that they put down their hot dogs and Bud Lights for one flippin' minute to look at what was quite obviously a close call? Why in h#ll wouldn't they? And, once they get close to the 2 minute mark, doesn't at least ONE of these clowns upstairs pay just a LITTLE attention to the action on the field in the event they have to check a play?
possible conversation:
Booth ref #1: was that a TD?
Booth ref #2: they said it was.
Booth ref #1: should we look at it?
Booth ref #2: nah, it's the f'in Bills, who cares? Broncos are supposed to take this one anyway.
Booth ref #1: could you pass the ketchup?
