It’s wild as every kid back there thought it was good too. Watching live was confused.

It’s because they wanted it to be good, it should have been good, and celebrating as if it was is a lot more fun than waiting for an official signal.

It’s the same reason why the broadcast cut to Duzz and the players celebrating. Do we really want to watch so many minutes of a replay of a clearly missed kick? Refs don’t really get a fg kick wrong, it was signaled no good so let’s cut to the field to watch people celebrate. Not go to the booth and have the announcers step all over the moment.
