Why Officials Picked Up The Flag And Gave Carolina The Win
The non-call that ended the Panthers' win over the Patriots was a bad call.

Somália, of ABC Futebol Clube in Brazil's Serie B, scored this (mostly) effortless goal Saturday in a 4-1 victory over Agremiação Sportiva Arapiraquense. He ran three quarters of the pitch and just sort of flicked a laser into the back of the net without ever really breaking stride. Filthy....
