Green Bay Packers fans have every right to be angry after officials made an obvious gaffe on Sunday.
In the second half, New England Patriots quarterback Bailey Zappe threw his first NFL touchdown.
A nice moment for the rookie no doubt.
The only problem is that it shouldn't have counted.
New England should've been penalized for a delay of game. Officials, however, didn't catch that the play clock had expired.
This clip shows how the clock actually reset after it expired.
And here's a clip of the officials seemingly realizing after the fact what happened.
That's just bad all the way around. If the Packers lose this game, you can point to that moment as a big reason why.
I'm never a fan of blaming the officials, but there's simply no excuse for something like that happening.
