That call while, very questionable, was a good call. Basically, Simeon Rice was called for Unsportsmanlike Conduct for leaping after the colts missed the 39 yd FG in OT. Leaping is usually called when a player will "leap" onto his teammate for better height to block the kick. However, Rice ran, leaped (with no leverage) and came down very slightly on his teammate. The ref fully defined leaping as taking a running start and using any bodies for leverage or falling down on any bodies. While this was a controversial call, it was by far the right one. Indy then lined up for a 29 yd FG that was tipped, bounced off the right upright and went in.
well, they gave the bucs the call when one of the Colts..forgot the name...fell on the ground.....the Bucs punter fell down on the tackler on his own momentum....wtf is that. The tackler was just there. The damn punter fell on him. The tackler didn't even touch him.
Still, the Bucs defense gave up....so yeah....Colts earned their $$$$ that night.
