Oops, refs screw up
At two minutes remaining, a Seahawk pass is deemed to have bounced off the receiver's forearm 10 or more feet and is intercepted by Arizona. I challenge anyone to repeat this feat: bounce a football end-first off someone's forearm (or any other part of the body including the head) and gain anything over a foot or two of rebound. Simple mechanics dictates that the ball could only have bounced this much by hitting the ground and the arm together and deflecting up and back.
No replay should even have been necessary if common sense had been in play.
