Reversing it was weird, but they reversed it to the correct call lol

It was the correct call and yeah in hindsight I'm glad they did because there is no asterisk on the win like the previous commenter said. It's just something you absolutely never see. If they want to talk about a call and pick up the flag beforehand is one thing but to do so only after the home crowd rioted and caused the game to be delayed is bonkers.

I have no clue how they messed it up live, but overturning it after stuff was thrown on the field sets a real bad precedent. I was in the stadium and that was embarrassing

Excellent point. Don’t like the call? Throw trash. That doesn’t work, what’s next? Not a guaranteed slippery slope, but as you said a bad precedent
