Well this whole game isn’t ideal.

I feel like I should be glad it's even a ballgame but at this point I'm a little bit pissed that the Colts are only sitting on a three point lead. KC has not played well at all. Can't keep giving Mahomes shots because sooner or later he's going to connect on a big play.

Good challenge by Reich. Who knows if it'll get overturned because of how all over the place the PI reviews have been this season but it's a pretty big spot here in the fourth quarter. Worth the risk of losing a timeout.

I honestly don’t know what the NFL can do about officiating anymore. Replay is a joke.

I think the refs are having a terrible time with the clear and obvious standard on pass interference. I was all for it on a trial basis but seeing it in practice I'm not sure it can be a permanent change.

I'm pretty confident the refs all got together and vowed to never change a PI call after review because they don't like the rule.

It’s not just that- there were 3 booth reviews today that all 3 times the network officiating analyst said would result in overturning the call. And I thought they were all obvious. All three stood.

I suppose that if you consider what the rule was made to address - something like the no call in the NFC championship - it's worked ok so far. They're just not going to overturn something unless the defender flat out tackles a receiver and it doesn't get called in the field.

Not crazy about where this is headed. One score game, clock winding down, no timeouts, reigning MVP about to take the field. At least the defense will be fresh. We'll see if they have a couple more stops in them.

Indy running down their throat and Indy has to get cute with the run. So stupid.

Reich has called a good game but that was a bad idea. Should have just kept running right at them instead of trying to get to the edge. Great play by Matthieu to blow it up, though.

This is a shocker. I wasn’t even going to watch because of the blowout I was expecting.

I'll take it. Another first down might have salted it away but at least it's a two possession game now.
