NFL history question.

In the Super Bowl era, has the NFL ever reversed the final outcome of a game?
If so, what game was it, and what was the reason?
I've looked around a bit and can't find that it has ever happened but I can't find that it never has either.

Edit: or taken a win away from a team?

As far as I'm aware, this has never happened, and the NFL has actively avoided setting this precedent.

Nope. Never. That would be unprecedented, and would open a can of worms the NFL would never be able to close. Ever.

Yep, has never happened and never will. They have admitted to officiating mistakes that cost teams a win, but that's as far as they've ever gone.

I don't think college football ever has either.

Except for forfeitures.

As others said, nope. Never has happened. And if it ever happens the game would have some major issues. Have you ever seen a post-game reversal other than some type of forfeiture situation? Would totally throw off what the NFL is all about.

The closest thing I can remember to this in any of the major sports is when the nba went back and replayed the last minute of a game.
