Browns coach says officials wrong on Hail Mary call
Browns coach Eric Mangini criticized the officiating after Hank Poteat was penalized for pass interference on a Hail Mary that gave Detroit a 38 37 win with no time left. He said the scramble context should negate DPI and that Romeo Crennel’s team faced other officiating and execution issues, including a missed unsportsmanlike penalty and a dropped pass by Chris Jennings.
