We had a situation, from what I gather, was not that the referees intervened, it's that they made the wrong call.

The call was legit. We shouldn't have been in the position we were. Without the negative yardage on 2nd down in OT, the 3rd down play gives us the first down.

Well it look like the marker for the first down was on the other side of the 15 slightly and the ball was just touching the 15? So i really wondering if it was also possible if the chains were misplaced, that to me could be a reason we came up short, because the ball clearly looked like the nose was on the 15.That's what I thought we were all complaining about. Jerry was yelling about it on the radio, he said that the nose of the ball was clearly on the 15 yard line, which logically, if you started exactly on the 25 yard line, would have to be a first down. If the chains didn't agree then the chains were placed wrong. But I guess if we didn't want to be in a position to let the refs rig us, we should have scored a touchdown every sing play, right? We did it to ourselves!
