I agree it wasn't conclusive either way but people who say for sure one way or the other is only seeing what they want to see. 

My biggest complaint about officiating is, unlike a lot that claim bias, they give the 'benefit of the doubt' on bang bang calls--and they have to. The thing is, while i don't believe they're biased, they will give that benefit to good teams over bad teams and it's not necessarily consciously. They know which team is good and which is bad, so when a bang bang play happens, they do the human thing, most of the time. It's why it seems like every time the Bengals play the Steelers, those calls always go the Steelers way. 

In a game like Sunday, neither team is necessarily better or worse than the other, so there's a better chance of them getting the call over the Vikings.
