NFC championship game officiating and a rule analysis

The NFL rulebook states that any grab of the jersey is a penalty. This would seem to indicate that this should have been a penalty https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x7M2UyVSpSw as should this However it seems that refs allow for jersey tugs if they are accompanied by an attempt to make a play on the ball or if they are quick and immediately released. For example: Go to the three minute mark of this video Or this play right here The key call on the Packers was long and not accompanied by attempt to play the ball, so I think it was ruled properly.

Penalties plummeted during the regular season. They fell even further during Wild Card weekend.

It's an amazing incentive for teams to plan to commit penalties in the playoffs. That's because they'll probably get away with it. https://t.co/ayx9ZGzrcn
