Here's a great video explaining the new rule changes that either needed clarifying, i.e. Calvin Johnson Rule, or is new like the official review of any scoring play. Many of the broadcasters had it wrong last night and there needs to be some clarification for those dumb jocks who thought they knew what they were talking about.
example: Last year when Fat Al "stopped" Cutler on the goal line and he ended up fumbling that ball, if the current review rule was in place, Lovie Smith would not even needed to consider throwing the red flag. That call would automatically been in the hands of the refs and almost assuredly been over turned.
