After further review, the NFL probably should have just let it go.
By announcing on Monday that Pete Morelli’s officiating crew messed up in not penalizing the Jaguars for a false start prior to Jason Myers’ 53-yard, game-winning field goal – which would have led to a 10-second clock runoff and given the Baltimore Ravens a 20-19 victory – the league looks like it was merely trying to appease Ravens coach John Harbaugh.
Many controversial plays happen in NFL games without the league publicly acknowledging an officiating error, except in private responses to all the clubs expressing concerns on Monday about various calls.
