What was the offsetting penalty? There's no pass interference if the pass is to an inelligible receiver. Was there a hold or an offsides?

Actually, there was no off-setting penalties. The NFL, however, has told the New York Giants organization that a pass interference penalty should have been called since Siber (sp?) was lined up as an eligible player. This would have resulted in off-setting penalties and since the game cannot end on off-setting penalties, the Giants should have gotten an un-timed down from the Niner 28-yard line.

You're kidding!?! Do you have a source for that?
