Yes, I'm in a close matchup and the points could be huge.  Yes, I'm being a baby about it.  I just don't understand how these plays can be blown so badly and I have no confidence in stat corrections to fix this.

The play by play reads: (14:20) (No Huddle, Shotgun) 8-K.Cousins pass deep right to 88-P.Garcon ran ob at PIT 37 for 19 yards.

"ran out of bounds" hahahahaha more like leveled out of bounds.

stat corrections might fix that.

The points wouldn't have mattered, but that's not the point.  Just drives me nuts when easy plays like this are botched and are likely costing some teams victories every week.  I know tackles are subjective but at least they can get the obvious ones right.

As expected, stat corrections didn't fix it.  It makes zero sense to me.
