why on the scoop and score in the 4th - 

its first down for Indy...
ball is obviously out
sullivan scoops - change of possession (knee isnt down) runs and scores.

they called him down by contact ?

I dont get it.  How was he ruled down by contact?  Was it a premature whistle that blew the play dead?

Also - is there some other mascot?  some plumpy viking thing (saw it in the end zone dancing around). 
is that a “Childrens fund thing” like that old Vikadontis Rex thing years ago?

Referee Tra Blake explains 2 Chandon Sullivan TDs called back
Tyler FornessSat, December 17, 2022 at 4:53 PM MST·1 min read
There was some frustrating officiating on Saturday afternoon, especially if you are a fan of the Minnesota Vikings. Not only were there some poor calls, but most importantly, the Vikings had two touchdowns on fumble recoveries by Chandon Sullivan that were arguably unfair calls. One of those was Michael Pittman Jr. who was deemed to have stopped forward progress and the other was late in the fourth quarter when Deon Jackson fumbled it while standing up in traffic and the whistle was blown dead. The PWFA pool report came out where they interviewed referee Tra Blake and the NFL’s SVP of Officiating Walt Anderson and they walked through what happened, and it all made complete sense. Pittman Jr. was deemed to have stopped moving forward and they thought Jackson was down (when it was clear he wasn’t).
Surprisingly though, nobody asked why. Why was the whistle blown so quickly on both? That’s the issue here but the question wasn’t asked and quite frankly, it’s disappointing that it wasn’t. That’s what everyone wants to know. In the end, it didn’t make a difference as the Vikings still scored enough points to win the football game.

I call bullshit on this...

Last week against Detroit, Justin Jefferson lost a TD because of the refs.  So in two weeks, the Vikings have lost 21 points.

Even the final score today, 3 points. I think that was the final line.

The extra mascot thing was introduced yesterday,   apparently they are calling it "Spike"  big inflatable body and head thing.
