You are completely wrong in your reasoning. Just bc no flag was thrown the play isnt reviewable? We're not talking holding or PI here...official judgement calls which are not reviewable. But just like the Music City Miracle and the Eli play against the Eagles a couple weeks ago, a play with questionable forward/backward laterals/passes is 100% reviewable. The booth upstairs had every reason to review the play...what does a flag being thrown have to do with it? There was no challenge flag or yellow flags for the music city miracle play but they took a look at it, and confirmed the ruling on the field. Anytime you have a lateral involved def/spec team TD scored on the last play of a game no matter the score the upstairs booth will be taking a look bc the NFL is anal about getting everything exactly right.
There was no flag for an illegal forward pass, therefore that was consider a missed call, and not a reviewable one
Absolutely, Completely and Utterly FALSE statement
HERE IS HOW IT ALL GOT MIXED UP FOLKS:
Read Tuttleberry's post above...he is 100% correct and on point.
What happened in my opinion is that after looking at the play this exchange happened:
Ref 1: 'The second pass was an illegal forward pass'
Ref 2: 'I didnt think so but if thats the case the second pass hit the ground therefore its dead'
The language of the 'second' pass is what threw everything in the group...the guy who reviewed the play is calling LT's pass the second pass (Rivers was the first) and then at least one of the other officials thought the official who watched the play meant the Chambers pass was the second pass, and then they said that one hit the ground. The confusion on whether or not Rivers' pass was included in the verbage is how I believe everything got screwed up. If LT's illegal forward pass had touched the ground the play should have been ruled dead, but the pass that touched the ground wasn't an illegal forward pass. Confusing which pass was called 'second' while huddling at the end of the game knowing that everyone was going to be bitching either way is what caused the whole problem. But people have to stop saying the play shouldn't have been or even worse couldn't have been reviewed because there were no yellow or red flags...thats just wrong.
I thought that a play that DOES NOT change the out come of the game IS NOT REVIEWABLE at the end of the game anyway.Does anyone know of this?

What are you not getting the Ref already said it should have been a TD they messed up!

for everyone who is saying that a backward pass or lateral after a forward pass results in a deadball. Here is a very famous play known as the "Hook and Ladder" it refers to the route run by the receiver "Hook" and what he does with the ball "ladder" meaning Lateral. So the point of this play is to advance the ball by a backward pass after the forward pass.
Remember when Randy Moss played for the vikings and right before the half he caught a pass and was about to be tackled and he threw it over his shoulder to another play resulting in a touchdown while time expired. That is only one of many examples of this play.
Next time go ahead and finish watching a game some time. At the end of almost any game in which a team gets a kickoff and are still in the game you will see multiple backward passes.
I can't believe people don't know this!
