You're kidding right?

The critical question was: off whom did the ball bounce in that Fuqua/Tatum collision? If it bounced off Fuqua, and then Harris was the next to touch the ball, the reception was illegal since two offensive players could not touch a pass in succession (a rule that was changed in 1978); the Raiders would gain possession (via a turnover on downs) and surely win. If the ball bounced off Tatum, or if it bounced off Fuqua and then Tatum, the reception was legal, as a defensive player was the last to touch the ball.

One official, Back Judge Adrian Burk, signaled that the play was a touchdown, but the other game officials did not immediately make any signal.[2] There was no instant replay rule at the time. Referee Fred Swearingen telephoned the NFL's supervisor of officials, Art McNally, who was sitting in the press box, after which he signaled a touchdown. Although this has been described as the first known use of television replay to confirm a call,[3][4] at the time the NFL denied that the decision was made in the press box or using a telvision replay.[5] It was later said that Swearingen was scared of backlash from the Steelers fans if he had ruled the other way. Fans immediately rushed the field, and it took 15 minutes to clear them so the point-after, or conversion, could be kicked to give the Steelers what turned out to be their final margin of victory, 13-7.

The play is still disputed by those involved, particularly by living personnel from the Raiders and their fans, who insist the Raiders should have won. Tatum said at the time and since that the ball did not bounce off him.[6][7] Raiders linebacker Phil Villapiano, who was covering Harris at the time, also maintains that the ball hit Fuqua.[8] Fuqua has been coy, supposedly saying he knows exactly what happened that day but will never tell.[9] John Madden, coach of the 1972 Raiders, has said that he will never get over the play, and has indicated that he's bothered more by the delay between the end of the play and the final signal of touchdown, than by which player the ball truly hit. After the game he indicated that from his view the football had indeed touched Tatum.[10]

Not a single one of those episodes is an "NFL Scandal". Is it a McDonalds scandal when one of it's employees gets busted for DUI or dealing weed? No.
