1st quarter
8:24: Packers KR Randall Cobb loses the ball following a kick return. The play is ruled a fumble on the field, although Cobb’s knee appeared to be down prior to the ball’s coming out. The call is (correctly) reversed by video review.
7:54: Giants S Kenny Phillips hits Packers TE Jermichael Finley in the helmet with his elbow following an incomplete pass. The hit should have ruled a personal foul, as Finley was a “defenseless receiver” on the play, but no call was made.
1:34: Packers WR Greg Jennings apparently fumbles the ball following a reception. Jennings is ruled down by contact and the call is allowed to stand after video review, although Jennings had clearly lost poessession of the ball prior to his knees touching the ground.
4th quarter
6:18: Giants DE Osi Umenyiora makes helmet-to-helmet contact with Packers QB Aaron Rodgers following a pass attempt and is flagged for a personal foul. In a broadcasting first, Fox analyst Troy Aikman claims that this is a bad call, but by rule and precedent the call was correct (see rule 12.2.13, subsection 3).
“Am I the only one around here who gives a shit about THE RULES?”
