We’ve had one discussion about officiating in the National Football League this year, back when the Minnesota Vikings came back and were able to defeat the Buffalo Bills despite getting righteously hosed by the officials on a couple of plays. But yesterday, the Vikings completed the biggest comeback in the history of the National Football League. . .and it might not have been necessary had it not been for a couple of egregious errors by referee Tra Blake and his crew.
Strangely enough, both of these plays involved similar situations, with a member of the Indianapolis Colts fumbling the ball into the hands of Vikings’ cornerback Chandon Sullivan, who then waltzed untouched into the end zone for an apparent Minnesota touchdown.
