So... I went back and looked at the NFL's replay of the TD pass to Dawkins.
I will admit to not being a rules EXPERT, but Dawkins was lined up next to the OG in an INELIGIBLE position. He's INSIDE the 5 person box. He shouldn't have been eligible based on what I'm reading in the rules regardless of his reporting as eligible.
