I doubt there will be official word on him until there has to be around 5:00pm.

If the refs cut the play for review there should be no run off...set was about to snap thr ball but they lose 10 sec because of of a ref mistake

No, they gained 5 seconds. Here's what happened:.

0:51: Play ends with the clock running as the Lions are tackled in the field of play
0:36: Lions are about to snap the ball when the refs stop the clock and review the play.

After the review, they reset the clock to 0:51 before executing the 10 second runoff, meaning the Lions were able to snap the ball at 0:41, despite not being remotely ready to snap the ball at 0:41 had there been no review (remember, the clock had already run to 0:36 while the Lions lined up before the replay.)

Because the status of the clock didn't change (there was no question about the player going out of bounds or anything), the time should have stayed at 0:36 (with the Lions allowed to line up and be ready to snap it at the restart of the clock) with no runoff instead of being reset to 0:51 and 10 seconds taken off down to 0:41.


EDIT: For what it's worth, I did some digging this morning and the officials did f*** this up (surprise surprise, right?). The run off, by rule, is actually only supposed to happen when the status of the game clock changes from stopped to running due to a review. The clock should have stayed where it was at 0:36 when they stopped the game.

After watching Chiefs Texans yesterday I'm much less worried about today, simply because I don't think the league/refs will allow whoever wins this game to get past KC. T Swift in the Super Bowl makes too much money. It'd be nice if the script writers had this as our year, but can't worry too much either way.

I am so sick of the “Chiefs win cause of Swift” narrative.

The boys will need to be on their P's and Q's, but we can win this game, just need to go out and execute.

I expect much better gameplans from our young coordinators this time around, I am sure they have been thinking about the first matchup all season long.

Go Bills!
