it didnt help western with the phantom fourth down that came about somehow on a crucial drive in the nl game..i dont want to take anything away from nl. especially their noseguard clay wilson. de did a great job on the best offensivelinman in the conference Dillan Mullins, he took dillans leg out and let the linbackers do their job. but back to my point, the league assigner needs to look at who does what game as far as officials, especially on a crucial game like that. lets look at who were the officials at the western . nl game.........
