NFL admits Denico Autry’s unecessary roughness call was incorrect
Photo by Jonathan Bachman/Getty ImagesThe Colts had a slew of bad breaks on special teams the sum of which ultimately cost them their week one matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers. Adam Vinatieri uncharacteristically missed two field goals and an extra point, and they even had a blocked punt.
One miscue that cost them was the penalty for unnecessary roughness on Denico Autry during a Chargers field goal. It turns out that the call was the wrong one.
FWIW, the #Colts sent the Denico Autry “unnecessary roughness“ penalty into the NFL.
The NFL admitted it was the wrong call.
The penalty ended up costing the #Colts 4 points. pic.twitter.com/BaUIP3lkG5
