Those two were bad... but did the TV coverage discuss the Pat's TD that Indy challenged? I can see the ref's judgment call that he "would've been in bounds if not for the shove"... but did the receiver step out of the back of the end zone before making that catch? It surely looked that way in the stadium, and in the replays on the Jumbotron.

Also, it seemed like an early missed interference call againts the Pats caused the refs to start making a few "make-up" calls later in the game (to keep it close, perhaps???). Despite being a dedicated Colts fan, some of the flags definitely had that feel to them.

Yup. The big question was "were Gaffney's feet inbounds when he leaped for the ball." They were, or at least there was no conclusive footage to show they weren't.

He never actually stepped out and it appeared his heels were up and not on the end line before he went up for the ball.
