Davis III did a great McCringleberry impersonation with the official after that PI call. ---

Yes. > [@Saint\_Cad](#): > > He hikes the ball but the quarterback merely touches it and the center takes it back and falls forward for the touchdown? No. The ball must be handed to or passed to another offensive player to begin the play. IOW, it must leave the center’s hands. ---

Whoever bet the over for Detroit/Seattle has gotta be feeling really good tonight. ---

Ready for my prediction Lions fans? Seattle wins 38 - 35. ---

> [@Saint\_Cad](#): > > Can the offensive line line up on one side of the center so he is in effect the end. As above, yes, but has to hand the ball off to another player. The play does have to start between the hashes, but all the other players could be outside the hashes. Like well off. The center could be between the hashes with the QB and you could have two separate groups of players at each set of numbers left and right. Sometimes you even see something like that on gimmick plays. The other main restriction is that at least 7 players, including at least 2 eligible receivers are at the line of scrimmage. While there’s no explicit rule to the effect, practically speaking, the center has to the snap the ball backwards (vs sideways or something), so there’s never going to be more than 10 players at the line on a normal offensive snap. ---

A guy is literally climbing on DK and pulls him to the ground in the end zone as the ball is coming to him? Not pass interference in Detroit. ---

Good call from what I saw. Defender has a right to go for the ball too. Better argument for offensive PI if anything ---

Detroit finishes with two passers, both with 100% completion rates. That can’t be too common. ---
