So the NFL the are going to agree with me that the officials were wrong on that Bengals TD.

the NFL needs a means to protest the game like baseball has.

They were wrong to blow the whistle. Not sure if it changes anything.

Maybe it does, maybe it doesn't, but the right call is a do over on that play.

It shouldn't. It's not as if the whistle affected the play. The ball was > halfway to the WR when it was blown.

 

[DJ]

Receiver tips it and it's almost picked.

JFC.

NFL rule 7, Section 2, Article 1(m) states: "[W]hen an official sounds the whistle erroneously while the ball is still in play, the ball becomes dead immediately." In this case, the rule goes on to state: "If the ball is in player possession, the team in possession may elect to put the ball in play where it has been declared dead or to replay the down."

So the touchdown should not have counted, and the play should have been re-played. It is not reviewable. Players often stop playing when they hear a whistle, and it's inherently unfair to allow post-whistle action to count.
