Did the ball really bounce in?

Or was it an optical illusion?

I know the appeal is likely fake news.

Fake news? I’d be filing an injunction in the Eleventh Circuit tomorrow. Kemp, Warnock, Osloff, MTG would all be getting phone calls.

Here's the rule:

A field goal shall be scored if a scrimmage kick, which may be a drop kick or place kick, passes over the crossbar between the uprights of the receiving team’s goal before it touches a player of the kicking team or the ground

So a kick that is tipped at the LOS but still gets through the uprights without hitting the ground is...no good?

It says when it’s touched by a player of the kicking team, not the defense.

I guess if the kick hits off the helmet of an offensive lineman and then ricochets through the uprights, it would be no good, but I’ve never seen that happen before.

Dan Wolken posted this snippet from the rule book on X. So yeah, it can’t bounce in.

That being said, I wonder how close the Immaculate Deflection was from crossing the plane. The one good replay shows it being we’ll short because of the angle of the camera. I bet in reality it was closer that you think.

I'm going to file an appeal of Dick Pace's interference call in the 1981 Egg Bowl.
