Since when? How do you know that? Where is the rule?

Was the pass complete or incomplete during that play. I can see if it was complete or for a TD or a 1st down they would be able to review because it makes a dramatic change, but if it was incomplete no foul no harm. Brunell should have tucked it and run if I remeber right he had 1 defender in front of him and 1 blocker and about 4 or 5 yards to get the 1st. I guess though if you can review under those circumstances if it was a TD they can do it the other way and rule a penalty as wierd as it sounds and does not make a lot of sense.
