On the last play of the game, with the Seahawks trailing 12-7, quarterback Russell Wilson heaved a desperation pass toward the end zone.
Green Bay safety M.D. Jennings caught the ball and seemed to secure possession, but Seahawks receiver Golden Tate managed to get his hands around the ball as well.
One replacement referee raised his arms to signal touchdown, while another official waved his arms signaling a touchback, indicating an interception.
After review, one of the initial calls on the field was upheld… SEAHAWKS TOUCHDOWN!
ESPN play-by-play commentator and MNF host Mike Tirico marveled: “This is the most bizarre sequence you’ll ever see at the end of the game.”
It was the worst play in the NFL thus far called by the replacement officials, and will no doubt be the topic of discussion as week three of the season comes to an end.
