Seattle 14 Green Bay 12, yet the score doesn't tell the story. Packers led the Seahawks 12-7 with only one play left in the 4th quarter. Seattle rookie quarterback Russell Wilson dropped back to pass and threw into the end zone for wide receiver Golden Tate, who appeared to push off during the play. Under normal circumstances that would have been offensive pass interference, yet no call. M.D Jennings the Packers safety looked to come down with an interception to win the game and preserve victory for Green Bay. Not so fast one replacement ref signaled touchdown, while another replacement official signaled touch back which ends the game with an interception. The officials up stairs in the booth, looked at the play only to rule a Seattle touchdown, ball game over Seattle 'won', Green Bay 'lost'. Many complaints of replacement officials took place over the first three weeks of the 2012 NFL season. After Monday Night social media lit up over the obvious blown call. The official referees are on strike, yet they are needed back. Personally I would hate to see this game and blown call hurt potential playoff chances of Green Bay, especially in a tie breaker situation or potential postseason home game.
