NFL admits game-changing referee mistake
The NFL has acknowledged that officials made a game-changing mistake in a recent contest, an admission that will fuel ongoing debate about refereeing standards in the league. Wrong or missed calls that swing outcomes are among the most contentious issues in professional football, and the league rarely concedes them publicly. Fans and analysts are expected to press for answers about which game was affected and what, if anything, the league will change in response.
Why now: The league's rare public admission of an officiating error that altered a game's outcome is drawing attention from fans and commentators.
