I may get some disagreements here, but it seems to me that the refs were getting caught up in the moment, and almost wanting a comeback to take place.
While Dallas made their own mistakes in the 4th quarter, holding seemed to become completely ignored. There were a couple blantant holds missed by the Saints offensive linemen, and one huge hold on a touchdown play where Newman was held right in front of the ref.
It all ads up to nothing since Dallas won, but I just have to wonder what has went on in these other "amazing comebacks".
I don't feel like the refs were purposely trying to change the outcome, want to make that clear, but it seemed as though they were clearly getting caught up in the moment, rather than concentrating on making good calls down the stretch.
