Rozelle backs officials on Houston loss touchback call
NFL Commissioner Pete Rozelle defended the call that denied Houston a touchdown in the Oilers 27 13 loss to the Steelers. Films showed Mike Renfro kept both feet in bounds then lost possession as he crossed out of bounds. Rozelle said seven officials upheld the incompletion after review and criticized TV replay for sometimes misrepresenting plays.
