Actually you have it completely backwards.@convertedpatsfan The change wasn’t for the SB, it was for the entire playoffs.
It was clear they were using a different standard on replays all playoffs long.
Ironically, it was the standard they should have been using for the regular season.
All season long Riveron was clearly using an “illegal” standard and it’s pretty obvious someone told him to cut it out for the playoffs.
During the season riveron called it strictly to the rule and correctly. Goodell was upset that fans wanted what they think a catch is to be a catch instead of what the rule is so he told riveron in the SB if it’s close give the guy the catch that’s what fans want. (I can speak for the other playoff games because I dont recall the examples. Also Goodell publicly discussed “making sure our great players get credit for the plays they make” and not being technical about it during Sb week)
