"Rule 17, Section 2, Article 3: “The Commissioner’s powers under this Section 2 include . . . the reversal of a game’s result or the rescheduling of a game, either from the beginning or from the point at which the extraordinary act occurred.”

Basically, the Commissioner has the power to turn back time to the spot of the penalty that wasn’t called, put the teams back on the field from that point in the game, give the Saints first and goal at the spot of the foul, put 1:49 on the clock, and let the game proceed, tied at 20, with the Rams having one time out left."

Sadly, southern California would barely notice. They don't care.

If a team got a 5th down or something like that, I still don’t think that provision would be used.

Is he gonna wind back to 1994 and Deions pass interference too?

They are waiting to give an official explanation for a reason. They want to avoid a s___ storm.

Really curious what the writers of the cba had in mind for this rule . Something where a ref admits he was bribed and rigged a game?

It won’t happen
But it should

No, they bandwagon with the best of them.. They are interested now

I would assume that’s probably the intent of the provision
I can’t think of many other reasons for it being used

 

[Daktozekecoop]

No time like the present, to set a precedent. And I dislike both teams, but...

If you think there's a S-storm over the outcome of the games right now, wait until Goodell invokes commissioner powers to overturn a game already decided on the field.

It absolutely SHOULD HAPPEN!

But it was not decided on the field. It was the kind of call that screams fixing.

No one would question that it's the right thing to do. Restart the game with 1:41 left and the Saints have the ball in the red zone.

How can you even state that the game was decided on the field? It was tampered with, clearly!

Goodell loves the idea of an LA-Boston championship. There's no way he'd overturn this. He probably arranged it.

Ain't happening.

Not in a million years. The League wants L.A. to be successful and to build a fan base. They want the fan support so that it helps with the new Stadium. I agree Corso, ain't happening.

I wouldn't consider a missed penalty an "extraordinary act". It happens on virtually every play. The high visibility and significant timing of the missed PI notwithstanding, it remains not very remarkable.
