“In this case, the Eagles received a couple of significant officiating gifts that definitely affected that last drive of the game.”
Still, the Colts could’ve just ran the ball, ran down the clock, then kicked a field goal and gone up by 10 with around 4 minutes to go. Instead Luck tries a very risky 3rd and 9 pass.
No doubt that the Colts could have done things differently. But the refs aren’t supposed to affect the game that way.
