If you were up late last night watching what was a mundane Monday Night Football game between the Green Bay Packers and Seattle Seahawks, then you're no doubt talking about the controversial play that ended the game.
With :08 left in the game and the Seahawks trailing 12-7, QB Russell Wilson launched the predictable Hail Mary pass into the end zone, hoping for a miracle catch and win for his team. Depending on what perspective you take, he certainly got that wish...
After what seemed like an eternity, the referee's call on the field stood and Seattle came away with what will probably be the most bizarre win of the season, and it's only Week 3!
Now there's all kinds of fallout from what took place in this game. In the immediate sense, Green Bay lost a game they felt they won. In Las Vegas, tons of bets were won/loss based on that one call (from one source, at least $250 million dollars shifted based on that play). More importantly, the credibility of the NFL took a big hit, from both the fans and the players. If you follow Twitter, you could feel the heat from Green Bay players and other NFL stars as they voiced their concern, frustrations and displeasure at what took place and what's happening because of the lockout of the regular NFL referees.
Take a look at the video and tell me what you think. Was it a touchdown catch? Share your views with us here!
In any case, expect plenty of reaction and fallout this week- the NFL PR department will certainly be working overtime to clean up this mess.
