Why wasn't it clearly a TD? Looked like one to me.Unless I’m mistaken, that last scoring play was never reviewed. It clearly wasn’t a TD, but was inexplicably never addressed and players exited the field. When the NFL does start changes this week, is there a possibility they overturn this blatant mistake? I’m not a gambler, but I heard the spread was 10
The Arizona player is being touched on the ground by a 49er before he tosses the bell 2” yards behind him. The play is clearly dead, and the refs never even reviewed the play. You need to watch it! Nuts
I own the niners D and need every one of those points. But that said, is there any precedent for taking points off the board after the fact? I would think NY would have had to called in during the game.
Same for me
I’m just shocked they never reviewed the play and made the right call. It’s really bizarre!
Every scoring play is reviewed; supposedly. The fact that the score counted would indicate it was reviewed. Don’t think there’s a precedent for changing a score with a star change.Unless I’m mistaken, that last scoring play was never reviewed.

Thanks for the link. very helpful.
The NFL's audience is:
Agreed on all points here, but since we are scrutinizing... was there any kind of penalty to be assessed (or maybe there was) for the SF dude running into the "end zone money shot" with his helmet already off?
not so sure......Walt Anderson literally said "game over" like 10 seconds after the TD.....no way they had time to review it.....
actually....the "reason" (they will tell you) they kept doing PAT after walk offs is because somewhere in tie breaker list "points" matter.....they aren't going to say "we are attempting this PAT because of betting lines"......c'mon man....
I've never heard that, though it's plausible. Regardless, those two explanations are not mutually exclusive.
"All scoring plays are reviewed" is the standard NFL line. We have obvious TDs where a player walked into the EZ & there is nothing really necessary to review. And they are kicking the PAT seconds later. The time elapsed between the play and "game over" isn't any kind of definitive proof that the play wasn't reviewed. If a reporter were to ask an NFL official about the play, I'm sure he/she would be told that the play was reviewed and the call on the field upheld.
right....I'm sure thats what they will "say".....but with all of the possible things that could have either (a.) been illegal..backward passes, illegal "batting" off a ball, etc...or (b) down by contact, etc. on that play....it would have taken a lot longer than 10 seconds to review the play....but we all know it wasn't really reviewed....if that were in the 3rd quarter, we would probably still be sitting here waiting for a ruling....with the discussion in here you can see there are different opinions on how that play shook out.....they simply didn't review it because it "didn't matter" .....and thats fine I guess.... but let's not pretend it was actually reviewed....
Uh.....I was responding to the OP, who seemed to be hoping that the play would get reversed, like a stats change, later his week (for either FF or gambling reasons). Just because he, you, I, etc don't believe it was reviewed doesn't mean the NFL didn't review (or won't claim to have reviewed it). It won't be changed.
The PAT is no longer required. The rule was changed the offseason after the Minnesota Miracle (as I learned earlier today).
