I reread my post and it is incoherent. So my apologies... I am just trying to see if I understand the rules properly. Should the play have counted? By my estimations it should have. I suppose I am preparing myself for the onslaught of bitter Ravens haters saying the clock ran out on the Flacco throw to Heap and I'm just preparing my defense. Petty as it may be...
Since the penalty occurred AFTER play was complete--and since the result of the play was a first down--the refs got it right. They move the ball back--but it's still first down.
The refs got it right.
The penalty came AFTER the play was complete. The result of the play was a first down. Then there was a dead ball foul (unsportmanlike conduct). The result of the play--first down--stands, but the team gets backed up as a result of the penalty.
Nobody can take anything away from the Ravens. That was one helluva football game.
As was the Cardinals romp over the heavily favored Panthers. If I were a Panthers fan...I'd be pissed! I don't know what team showed up for Carolina last night, but it wasn't the Panthers from the regular season! What va humiliating way to end a pretty good season especially at home! But who am I to talk...the Buffalo Bills didn't do any better!
Thanks for responding but the play did not result in a First Down:
9:58 2nd Ten 1st & 10 at Ten12 Chris Johnson up the Middle to Ten19 for 7 yards
9:58 2nd Ten -- Ten-David Stewart PENALIZED -9 yards for Unnecessary Roughness
9:52 2nd Ten 1st & 12 at Ten10 Chris Johnson Off Right End to Ten20 for 10 yards
you are right - i thought i was the only one that noticed this..
