Our reading
The officials said the pass was incomplete, which is a technical term that means, ‘we don’t want to admit we missed it.’ The video shows the receiver was shoved out of bounds, but the rulebook doesn’t have a category for ‘shoved out of bounds by a guy who’s supposed to be defending you.’ It’s like if your boss said your report was ‘unreadable’ but then you found out they just didn’t want to read it. The call was a gift, not a judgment. Four free points, and no one had to say they were wrong.
