the nfl tried to cover their asses when the coach was right, Jones was right (he was on the line of scrimmage)and the nfl rule was right until 2 hours after the game when they changed the wording, the refs were wrong and the nfl is trying to fix their botched mess that cost the Pats a divisional game.
