The following is from the article in the above link:
Question: A 15-6 victory over the Baltimore Ravens in an AFC Divisional Playoff Saturday. A second consecutive convincing performance by the Colts' defense. Kicker Adam Vinatieri converted five field goals and, in general, it was a low-scoring game with no touchdowns . . .
Answer: Adam came through as we certainly hoped that he would. The game was kind of a unique game, but I think it’s just apropos of the kind of officiating that has been going on. When you have blitzing teams and you allow that downfield stuff, such as what happened to (Colts wide receiver) Reggie Wayne, you’re going to limit offense. That’s the net of it. You encourage the power-running game, you discourage the passing game and if you’re limited to a running game, it’s rare that you can do what we did in the fourth quarter and take the game over with a power-running attack. I worry not so much about us - we can play any style – but I worry about what kind of a game we’re getting when we allow so much rough stuff down the field. Whether or not the league office says that was a foul or should have been a foul, I don’t know, but Bill Levy is a great official. I know he’s nothing if not an honest guy and the explanation he gave I think is what the officials have been told. That worries me some. You went something like two-and-a-half games before a touchdown was scored? That’s not good, when the best teams play that way. That’s not good for the health of the game. I think that was certainly a contributing factor to a low-scoring game.

That was completely against what the rule book says, yet they allowed it. At least there are no questions as to whether that was wrong. It's pretty clear to any football fan.
