Two rigged NFL games decided on late mis-calls...

And SURPRISE, SURPRISE, one of them was New England's comeback win over the Giants on Sunday for 9-0!!

Odell Beckham got a bad call late in the Giants' loss when it appeared he scored a touchdown on this play...

(And this is the ACTUAL NFL YouTube account, so it's not coming down! But the NFL will NOT allow me to embed it into my blog!)

(Play is at 2:12.)

24-23 Patriots, just before the two-minute warning...  Manning throws the fade route to the far side, Beckham catches it in the end zone, two feet down, is turning, so he's made the football move before the defender gets hands in and strips the ball.  He's not in contact with the defender, so going to ground with possession of the ball is not the issue.

Ruled on the field a touchdown, reversed upstairs...  why?

Are we going to get to rugby here, where you actually have to catch it and "touch down" in the end zone?  Because the way this rule is openly used to rig games is just fucking maddening.

That led to a field goal, which was responded with Ye Royal Cliffhanger At The Gun, and the Patriots steal one in New York.

That one, the NFL did not admit to.  Another one, they did.

The other game which was altered by referee *cough*"error" was Jacksonville-Baltimore.

On the last play of timed play, Baltimore was called for a facemask, and, under the new rules, the 15 yards gave Jacksonville a field-goal try for Ye Royal Cliffhanger After The Gun.

Mike Greenberg of ESPN said on Sunday:

Is there any way #Jaguars got that snap off and were lined up legally?

That play never should've happened, the NFL now admits. Jacksonville didn't get set.

The left tackle was not set.  Under the rules, the requisite 10-second runoff would've elapsed the game, Baltimore wins.

But, Baltimore is 2-6, and Jacksonville might actually still be relevant in a shitty AFC South. It's all about keeping as many teams relevant in Week 17.
