In the divisional round game against Tennessee, everyone is talking about the play clock running out on the Ravens on the last drive but did anyone see the extra down Tennessee got on the drive that started on their one... After the first down play by Hall which Ray Lewis hit him hard on the sideline the next play Johnson goes for 7 yards to the 18. There is a 15 yard penalty on TEN O lineman after the play... the ref comes on mic and says the unsportsmanlike if after the play and the play counts penatly is half the distance... LOOK AT THE PLAY BY PLAY... they didn't count the play and gave them half the distance form the end of the run... IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN SECOND DOWN!!! The lineman marks it a first down and no one says a word (they took three more plays to convert the first... I know the Ravens won and it didn't wind up hurting them in the end but I am amazed this isn't getting covered... this drive changed the whole game as the field position was completely changed.
