NFL Twitter reacts to blown name in Bengals/Raiders Wild Card recreation
For whistles in error, the NFL laws state that the play will have to be known as useless. This rule intends for there to not be any ambiguity when it comes to whether or not a play is useless. The league supposed for any whistle, even ones blown in error, to sign the tip of the play in order that no person could be harm or have an unfair merit.
Even the commentators agreed that the debatable ignored name unfairly affects the Raiders:
Commentators: “that’s unlucky for the Raiders”… yeah, you assume? ???

There are two aspects to each and every coin, and one Twitter consumer idea that an faulty whistle shouldn’t imply the play is routinely over (even supposing the NFL’s laws states in a different way):
If the sport is going the Bengals’ manner, they’ll most probably fake that there was once no whistle both.
@MySportsUpdate I believe just like the scandal this is the refs simply pretending like they didn’t blow the whistle. All of us heard it! And we’re all simply intended to behave like that didn’t occur?@MySportsUpdate I believe just like the scandal this is the refs simply pretending like they didn’t blow the whistle.
