Update: oops... I just noticed I entered the wrong score for the Colts, which inadvertently gave them a win. Updated power rankings below. (Is there some way I can blame this on the replacement refs?)

Comments:
What an awful week for officiating.
The replacement referees somehow gave the 49ers an extra timeout and two challenges they should not have had. Somehow that didn't cost the Vikings the game.
And then on Monday night, a very marginal roughing the passer cost the Packers an interception. Another call of defensive pass interference that really should've been on the offense kept the same drive going, and then on the final play, a really explicit case of offensive pass interference was missed, and the pass was somehow called a touchdown instead of an interception.
This situation with the replacement referees is an embarrassment to the league, and it needs to be resolved now.
I'll have more to say tomorrow about football-related events not involving officiating.
