I am 100% sure there will be a rule change come next year. It is typical of Belicheat to do shit like this.

Well, that's on the Refs.

If a player changes his eligibility, the Referee must alert the defensive captain after player has reported to him.

If the Refs told the D captain, then tough sh** that you were unprepared for the change-up. Call a time out and adjust.

On the other hand, if the Ref did not tell the D captain, well ... that's just more of the inconsistent reffing that happened throughout the game.
