A replacement referee checked an instant referee and correctly awarded the ball to "St. Louie" during Sunday's NFL game between the St. Louis Rams and Chicago Bears.
It happened in the first quarter as Rams cornerback Cortland Finnegan intercepted a pass by Bears quarterback Jay Cutler. The confusion occurred as Finnegan went down but lost the ball as he hit the ground and the Bears picked up the ball and ran with it. Video clearly showed that Finnegan went down by contact, and the refs made the correct call, although referring to St. Louis as "St. Louie" is not something you hear every day.
