Even in real time you could see that. But after one consults the Manning Doctrine, it becomes illegal. Without a doubt, Pollard's rep had something to do with it too... But honestly that wasn't even the worst call. The worst one was a defensive holding call that bailed Denver out and led to the game tying TD. It was a total game-changer. Instead of punting deep in their own territory, they were awarded a 1st down and scored a few plays later. Momentum had shifted. Who knows what could have happened had they been forced to punt to a Tennessee team with the lead that was moving the ball and could have possibly gone up by 14 at half? More times than not it's when the calls happen more so than the calls themselves. If the refs make that particular call all the time, they might as well not even allow DB's on the field.
