Here's the drive, condensed into a much more palatable ...
DeSean Jackson Appears to Return Another Punt Against The Giants, Refs Disagree, Eagles Score Anyway
It was a close call to be sure, so it was strange that the play was not reviewed. Not to worry, though.

Santonio Holmes Gets Vocal About A Pass Interference No-Call
As far as incidental broadcasts of sports profanity go, this is pretty tame (the only less-offensive being your Bobby Knight "chickenshit") but Santonio Holmes' complaint about the no-call on this pass in the second half of the Patriots-Jets SNF matchup is still amusing—especially the belated atte...
