Should Penalty Have Negated Arizona's Game-Winning TD?

Pro Football Talk - It appears as though the game-winning touchdown scored by the Cardinals on Sunday night against the Packers should have been negated.

Green Bay quarterback Aaron Rodgers suffered a blow to the head and had his face mask pulled as Arizona defensive back Michael Adams collided with him on the play that led to Karlos Dansby's winning touchdown.

One league source told Pro Football Talk via e-mail, "It should have been a personal foul grabbing the face mask and 15-yard penalty and a first down for Green Bay."

When looking at the video, Pro Football Talk, points out that Rodgers appears to have had the football in his hands for three full seconds before getting hit by Adams.

Well video shows it was a face mask, so yea, it should have been negated.

It's part of the NFL, unfortunately. Bad calls/missed calls are made/missed quite frequently anymore. Still, can't take the win away from the Cardinals.

i wouldnt say undeserved

would say that the call was stupid and shoulda been neglected but it was the same story throughout the game, a lot of blown calls. Then lookin at it, that play shouldnt of even happened, Rodgers shoulda hit Jennings on 1st down that woulda gone for a TD, or Rackers shoulda hit that FG to win it, or McCarthy coulda handled the clock better and get a TD before half instead of settlin for a FG, or even Crosby hittin that FG but it was 54yds so no blame there.
