Yeah that's odd and needs explaining. Neither ref made

the tip ball motion on that sideline that a ref needs to make when eating their flag for that reason. Neither seemed to offer that as a reason to Payton. Inside the NFL has a very good angle of the ref who was around the 15 yard line, after contact he reaches down for his flag and hesitates and in my interpretation looks to see if the guy on the goal line is throwing his flag. I have little doubt that if he saw that guy throwing a flag he would have followed his instinct and thrown his too. I think he choked and didn't trust what he saw because he was a afraid of being on an island on a call that decided a Super Bowl berth.
