Daniel Bellinger on blown facemask call: I asked for an explanation and didn't get any (www.nbcsports.com)

The officiating crew committed a baffling mistake on Thursday night when Giants tight end Daniel Bellinger was flagged for facemasking, even though replays showed that Bellinger didn't grab Cowboys linebacker DeMarvion Overshown's facemask, and instead Overshown grabbed Bellinger's facemask.

It's actually laughable how underdeveloped the rules around review are. I understand that some of that is an attempt to protect the refs ability to make decisions on the field, but this kind of thing is exactly the situation where there should be a review of it done without there even being a challenge flag thrown.

For a league generating $13 billion/year in revenue and paying out ~$400 million/year per team, there is a real lack of investment in actually running the games smoothly.

This was crazy. Honestly don't understand how this was called so wrong.
