Richard Sherman told Simon that he made a great play. Pete Carroll thought it was a “perfectly executed two-hand jam.” Basically everybody but the officials tasked with supervising the game knew that it was a legitimate pick six, but Simon was robbed anyway.
Now the NFL is admitting as much. According to Terry Blount of ESPN, Carroll submitted the play for review and the league knows they made a mistake:
So that’s something, but if the pick came during a regular season game that wasn’t a blowout this might have come quite a controversy.
Thus far this preseason the NFL referees have gone overboard in their emphasis on cracking down on illegal contact and defensive holding – too many games have been brought to a stand-still by a rain of yellow flags. It has hurt the product on the field and Seahawks fans aren’t the only ones who have noticed. Coaches around the league have been upset by the over-regulation.
