NFL says Ravens' blocked FG appears to be legal, Will Hill stayed inbounds on TD return vs. Browns

The Browns found yet another way to lose in heartbreaking fashion Monday night, and the NFL's stance is the officials who worked the nationally televised prime-time game shouldn't be blamed for the improbable finish.

On Tuesday, the league maintained the Baltimore Ravens should not have been penalized on the play resulting in defensive end Brent Urban's blocked field goal and safety Will Hill's game-winning, 64-yard return for a touchdown with no time left in a 33-27 defeat for the Browns.

On a replay posted to Twitter by SBNation.com, Ravens defensive back Anthony Levine appeared to have his right hand offside on the ground before the snap on the blocked field goal.
