By now you've probably seen the bizarre field goal at the end of yesterday's Browns-Ravens game: The kick was ruled no good on the field, then the officials discussed it, and then they (correctly) ruled it good. The NFL claims that instant replay was not used to make that ruling, as that would have been a violation of league rules. But I've heard from multiple sources today that you can ... [link]
