Wild finish in the Browns-Ravens game...

What a finish. The Ravens scored 16 straight 4th quarter points to take a 30-27 lead. The Browns drive down and with 3 seconds left Phil Dawson gets the chance to tie the game with a 51 yd FG. It is up--hits the left goal post--bounces and hits the crossbar--then bounces back on the field. No good and the Browns lose. But wait--one judge thinks it went over the crossbar and hit the back extension. The Referee says he wants to review it. Then he finds out that field goals are not reviewable so he cannot look at the replay. The officials huddle and then decide it did hit the extension. Field goal is good and the game is tied. The players are forced out of the locker room and back onto the field. The Browns win the coin toss and drive down for the winning field goal. I have never seen a finish like that in my life! Amazing...

As a side note they did show the replay several times on the screen in the stadium. The Referee insists he did not look at it to change the call. Hmmm...
