Controversy

So we all know what happened last night with the Panthers and Pats.. It was actually the first game I think I've ever watched in its entirety aside from the super bowl. Just a great game overall for Monday night football. I'm not taking sides on the questionable call on the last play, but the first thing I noticed during the live play was that Gronk was bear hugged. After looking at the replay it's hard to tell if he would have had a chance at it or if it was an interception either way. My question is why it wasn't reviewed. It's a game deciding play, and instant replay is used so much now in sports that it should have been reviewed. It was under the last 2 minutes of the 4th quarter, why didn't the booth look it over? If the spot of the ball or fumbles can be reversed, why shouldn't they review penalties in situations like that? There's about a 95% chance that the Pats would have scored given the ball at the 1 yard line, but the loss doesn't really affect them. And knowing Brady, that one call isn't gonna mean shit when it comes to how they play in the playoffs.

P. S. The MLB has been talking about giving coaches challenges next season. Not sure how I feel about it in respect for the game, but instant replay is definitely a huge breakthrough in the outcome of games in any sport.
