Yes it was suspect and objectively a bad call
But we got a free game altering touchdown based on a blatant missed penalty.
Can’t have it both ways
Not so sure about that. First off, the official was no where near the Higgins reception dor the TD as that fat ass was lagging way behind and simply did not see it. Secondly, at least a couple officials have come out and said that the face mask grab has to have real intent so as to disrupt the play, thus, they felt comfortable of the no call. Personally, I felt it was a penalty all the way on Higgins.
The frustrating part about the Wilson hold is that supposedly the hold occurred prior to the break (been confirmed by a few people) by the WR so if that's the case why wasn't it thrown then? Why wait until a perfectly covered and defended play by Wilson while the ball is in the air and the play is over to call it?
