In a bizarre turn of events, the Seattle Seahawks defeat the Green Bay Packers 14-12 during a nationally televised Monday Night Football match.
The controversy stems behind the final play of the game.
Russell Wilson threw a disputed 24-yard touchdown to Golden Tate on the final play of the game.
Wilson scrambled from the pocket and threw to the corner of the end zone as the clock expired. Tate shoved Green Bay's Sam Shields out of the way, then wrestled with M.D. Jennings for possession. It was ruled on the field as a touchdown and after a lengthy review, referee Wayne Elliott came out from under the hood and announced "the ruling on the field stands" and CenturyLink Field erupted in celebration.
The replay seemed inconclusive. And the NFL's replacement officials must have agreed, because they let the ruling on the field stand.
"They said it was a simultaneous catch," Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said of the final play. "And, well, tie goes to the runner. Great call."
Both teams left the field before being brought back out to attempt the point after touchdown. The delay was nearly 10 minutes.
