OK, just saw the official recognition of the error - link below

Now it gets really interesting in my opinion, because the NFL frequently goes back and changes official stats mid week following the game ...and those stats are certainly no more meaningful than a score change of this kind. So if the NFL does NOT change the score (to 17-10 at least, since they can't assume the PAT would have been good), what would their rationale be for
not doing so?
My guess is that they won't because Vegas has likely already paid the "winning" bets off and a score change would cause them to pay off the "losing" bets as well. This would obviously not please Vegas and while I am no conspiracy theorist (i.e. I don't believe any of these NFL games are fixed in any way), I also recognize that the NFL does things specifically FOR Vegas (injury report being the prime example).
