Judge: Pass interference should be flagged on two-point conversion


USA Today

The Giants head coach was not happy that the judge was not happy that the flag of intervention called for pass was initially called against the Buccaneers in an attempt to convert the Giants to a two-point lead.

The judge said after the game that back judge Nate Jones had properly flagged for interference and should not be overturned by his fellow officers.

“I think the net did the right thing when it dropped the flag,” the judge said via ArtJapelton of NorthJersey.com. “So, I’m not sure why it took off. We had a very good vision, I know they won’t be able to use Jumbotron as a replay. We had a pretty good idea about that too, but, you know, I thought Nat made the right call first. I thought, in general, your first instinct is right. So, that’s all I will say about the fissuring. . . . I felt like our people were playing hard. We have to put ourselves in a position where we can succeed and not bring a third party as a factor. It’s hard enough to beat the bucks. “

Although Buchanan’s defensive back Antoine Winfield Jr. was initially flagged off for a two-point conversion with Lewis to fight the Giants running backwards, officials flinched and ruled out a win with Spencer. No interference he was a close call, and he does not sit well with the judge.
