The Denver forward/backward pass in the 1st half was extremely complex and needs clarification. It was initially ruled an incomplete forward pass with the whistle blown before NE picked up the football. Based on the announcement, they changed the ruling to backward pass on the field. But by doing that, it created an erroneous whistle which would require the down to be replayed and NE cannot get the ball. Had they stayed with the initial ruling, Replay could review and NE would have been awarded the ball after review because erroneous whistle rules would not apply. Ultimately, the result was correct, but the process to get there was not.
