PITTSBURGH — The first 11-10 game in NFL history shouldn’t have ended that way, referee Scott Green said after a last-minute touchdown was errantly taken away from the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday.
Fantasy impact
The last-second touchdown that was stricken from the scoreboard may have affected a number of ESPN.com fantasy matchups this week.
In ESPN.com standard leagues, the Steelers’ defense lost 8 fantasy points in the process — 6 for Troy Polamalu’s fumble return for a touchdown and 2 for his recovery.
Meanwhile, the Chargers’ defense gained three points, since it officially was credited with allowing 11 points (a 4-point gain in ESPN.com standard leagues) versus 17 or 18 points (worth just 1 point).
Also, in leagues which play with individual defensive players, owners did not get points for Polamalu’s recovery and TD. The Steelers’ defense was started in 68.2 percent of ESPN.com leagues, while the Chargers were started in 32.9 percent of leagues.

The officiating mistake didn’t affect the outcome since the Steelers still would have won, but the touchdown would have changed the score to 17-10 — or, more likely, 18-10, since the teams were lined up for an extra-point try that was never attempted.
On first-and-10 from San Diego’s 21 with 5 seconds remaining, Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers threw a short pass to LaDainian Tomlinson over the middle for 3 yards. Tomlinson turned and made a handoff-type lateral to wide receiver Chris Chambers, who attempted to pitch the ball to a teammate only to have safety Troy Polamalu scoop it up and score from the 12.
Both teams left the field on what looked to be a game-ending play, but were called back by the officials for the extra-point attempt. At that point, the replay official called for a review.
After watching the play, Green initially announced the ruling on the field was upheld and the touchdown counted. But the officiating crew huddled again before the extra-point attempt and changed the call, deciding that an illegal forward pass should have ended the play.
Green, in a postgame interview with a pool reporter, said that call was errant — even though his explanation for the confusion was almost as confusing as the play itself.
“We should have let the play go through in the end, yes,” Green said. “It was misinterpreted that instead of killing the play, we should have let the play go through.”
Green said the confusion occurred because there was a misunderstanding about which lateral was in question.
“The first pass was the one that was illegal, but it only kills the play if it hits the ground,” Green said. “That was incorrect to have killed it at that point. The ruling should have let the play go on. That’s just the way that it played out. We believe the second pass was legal.”
Green was asked why, since the ball didn’t hit the ground during any of the tossing, the officials decided after huddling that the play should have ended.
“We didn’t kill it on the field,” Green said. “After [the] discussion we decided … there was some confusion over which pass we were talking about and it was decided that it was the second pass that was illegal that did hit the ground and therefore we killed the play there.”
However, the officials realized afterward they erred.
“I know,” Green said. “The rule was misinterpreted.”

Asked about the officiating — the Steelers drew 115 yards in penalties to the Chargers’ 5 — Pittsburgh coach Mike Tomlin declined to comment.
“No, I have never seen a game ended with 13-to-1 in penalties [the official tally was 13 against the Steelers, two against the Chargers], but I am not answering questions about the officiating,” Tomlin said.
The call affected betting on the game since the Steelers were either a 4½- or 5-point favorite and would have covered if the touchdown counted.
“It was weird,” Steelers receiver Hines Ward said, ” … but this game is about wins and losses, and we won.”

Alright, I’ve got a couple Wide Receivers and I need help choosing my 3 to play this week. Here they are.
Andre Johnson ( Hou Texans)
Steve Smith ( Car Panthers)
Dwayne Bowe ( KC Chiefs)
Jerricho Cotchery (NY Jets)
Reggie Brown (Phi Eagles)
Hank Baskett ( Phi Eagles)
all your help would be appreciated.
Johnson should be a start every week that he is not injured whether or not the matchup is good.
Smith is a great talent but could be a little slow getting up to game speed because he is returning from a recent suspension.
Bowe would be my third pick because he was targeted more last week than any of your other options

I think they’re all similar, but Keller’s on the rise and I would pick him up. Drop Boss. Keller seems to be Brett’s man.
