Think games aren't scripted?

Refs manage the game but I think they also manage the crowd, to an extent. If something is ruled on the field at home, I think there's a passive bias to only change it if it's so obvious your grandmother would understand it was a fumble.
If that fumble occurs in Cincinnati, I think it is overturned.

But that's just a guess. We have no idea what these refs are telling each other or considering when they make the decisions they make.

This is why incompetence is the more likely issue. Stevenson should have been whistled dead for forward progress so we also got a call of incompetence, but ours literally sealed the game.
