Horrible officiating in the MNF game last night (shocking I know).
Roughly 4-5 minutes left, Vikes down 6-0, and they are short on 3rd down. They line up to attempt the FG to cut the lead to 3. Bobby Wagner jumps over the line using his hands and his teammates backs to vault over the line (I could see this from home on TV), and blocks the kick.
Flag thrown by one official, they huddle, and the flag is picked up. They show the replay and Wagner clearly uses his teammates to jump over. Instead of a first down and Minny driving for the go ahead TD, the Seahawks drive it down the field, score, and put the game away. This botched call will likely decide playoff berths.
I’m not sure if it’s the speed of the game or the increased TV coverage or just incompetence, but the officiating in the NFL this year has been horrible.
Oh well Vike’s fans, maybe you will get an apology from the head of officials? Hope that makes you feel better.
