Pete Carroll seems confused after Neil deGrasse Tyson's ruling on Seahawks' controversial lateral

It seems as if everyone has an opinion about a controversial lateral that Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson tossed to running back Mike Davis in the fourth quarter of the Eagles 24-10 loss Sunday night in Seattle. The Seahawks later scored a touchdown on the drive.

Eagles fans, livid that coach Doug Pederson didn’t challenge what appeared to be an illegal forward pass, were backed up by former VP of officiating Mike Pereira.

“It was forward and illegal since it was beyond the line,” Pereira, who works as a rules analyst on FOX Sports, wrote on Twitter on Monday.
