Not that it matters now, except that it might have changed the outcome of the game: "No, this was not a correct call. This is not the intent of the rule as it was written," Blandino explained. "The rule is to protect the snapper on a field goal or extra point from a direct forcible blow to the head or neck area, or with the crown/forehead/hairline parts of the helmet to the body. It was not designed to prohibit any contact with the snapper, which is what happened on this play." nfl/news/story/0ap1000000242206/article/nfl-official-ump-made-error-in-calling-chargers-penalty?pjx=nfl&affiliateId=43737&clickId=680970491&affiliateCustomId=1cn0scp2140zl
