They never showed a replay of Faurier's catch. All they showed was replays of the defensive holding penalty that gave the Pats another set of downs to score from the 3. They scored so that was a non-factor.
Muhammad clearly had control of the ball and turned upfield before it came loose. But since the official immediately blew the whistle and ruled an incomplete, it couldn't be reviewed.
I thought the stupidest call was the "head bob" false start on Brady on the first drive--it may have cost the Pats an early TD. That one was clearly the result of Fox working the officials on the sidelines--you never see that called in a big game.
Dreith's call was in the first playoff game in 1976, not the AFC Championship.
