Which resulted in an unsportsmanlike from Harbaugh (15 yards) which put us on their 5.
Which resulted in the Gronk TD.
So, pretty significant.
It was a 15 yard penalty, but the ball was on the 10 yard line at the time so in reality, it was a 5 yard penalty. Important but not as significant as if it were a 15 yard penalty.
I don't know if it's been mentioned or if it wasn't audible on the TV broadcast, but by the third time the ref announced number 34 as ineligible, he added "The defense does not have to cover number 34". It was very very obvious. The refs were telling the Ravens' defense what they needed to do. Complaining about it because your players can't understand the ref's words is just sour grapes.
