Washington Commanders vs. New Orleans Saints
Sunday, December 15, 2024
Question: At the end of the game, it was the third-to-last play, the Saints completed a pass short of the goal line and the clock kept running and it appeared that the clock stopped at nine seconds. I was wondering if you had an explanation for the stoppage?
Hochuli: “The covering official mistakenly stopped the clock in that situation. The clock should not have stopped.”
Question: Was there any consideration of reviewing the stoppage? Was there anything that you could have done after the fact?
Hochuli: “No, it is not a situation that is reviewable.”
Question: When were you all aware of the mistake?
Hochuli: “That’s all I have for you, Luke. The covering official mistakenly stopped the clock at nine seconds and it is not reviewable.”
