Broncos vs. Ravens

To be fair the Ravens should of never opened at mile high and Denver caught some breaks.

Baltimore stunk it up in the 2nd half. Everything went wrong for them.

the ball that hit the ground but was ruled a catch was crucial

Hell yea, what were they thinking there?

I don't think any of the refs got a clear look at the play, the only ref that I seen came in from behind the play so he probably didn't see it.

 

What I don't understand is why didn't Baltimore challenge it, it's not like the Broncos ran up to the line and were trying to get a play off after it.

yeah i can understand the refs missing it, i don't understand the non-challenge. like you said they had some time to throw the flag

Still, as an NFL official, how do you miss that same call twice in the same game? They had to challenge one earlier in the game on a ball that clearly hit the ground, too. I'm sure Baltimore were hesitant to use their final challenge that early in the game on a play that only in hindsight became significant. They need to be in position to see the receiver complete the catch. That's Officiating 101.
