NEW YORK -- Redskins coach Mike Shanahan spoke Monday with the NFLs director of officiating after the league said Sunday nights crew made an error on Washingtons final drive. The league said officials should have stopped play and eliminated confusion about the down and distance at the end of the Giants 24-17 victory at Washington. "I talked to Dean earlier today, he gave me a call and just went over the scenario," Shanahan said, referring to Dean Blandino, who oversees NFL officiating. "Obviously they made a mistake and you live with it." With New York leading by seven points just after the two-minute warning, a catch by the Redskins Pierre Garcon on second-and-5 was spotted short of a first down at the Washington 45. Referee Jeff Triplette signalled third down. But the head linesman, with the Redskins in a hurry-up offence, incorrectly motioned for the crew to advance the chains, which caused the down boxes to read first down. "In this situation where there is obvious confusion as to the status of the down, that play should have been stopped prior to third down and the correct down communicated to both clubs," Blandino said Monday in a statement. "This should have occurred regardless of the fact that Washington had no timeouts and it was inside two minutes." Only the referee can rule and signal a first down. The official nearest to the down markers and chain crew, the head linesman, is required to wait for that first-down signal from the referee before moving the chains. That did not happen at FedEx Field. After Washingtons incomplete pass on the next play -- which many Redskins believed was on first down -- the chains were moved back and the down boxes correctly reset to fourth down. Blandino said instant replay review was not used on Garcons catch because the replay official determined the ball was "correctly spotted short of the line to gain for a first down." Shanahan was asked if he would be in favour of scrapping the chains and using laser technology to help spot the ball. "You talk about it at the owners meeting, kind of go through the variables, exactly how accurate it is and how it would be implemented," he said. "I think theres a lot of technology that you could possibly use, but before you do that you go through all the situations and find out if its effective and how effective." Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III said the confusion affected the play calling. "The chain said first down, and then when we came back, we think its second-and-10, and theyre yelling out its fourth down," Griffin said. "No explanation. No measurement. Didnt stop the clock to allow the chains to move back. And we just had to go ahead and call the play." Griffin did complete a 6-yard pass to Garcon on fourth-and-1, but safety Will Hill stripped the ball. The Giants then ran out the clock. "I told him I wanted a measurement because I knew it was close," Shanahan said, not specifying which official he was referring to. "It was inches. And he said, No, its a first down. And he moved the chains. And then after I saw it was fourth down, I asked him, You already told me it was first down. He didnt say anything. So that was quite disappointing." Speaking to a pool reporter Sunday night, Triplette said: "We signalled third down on the field. The stakes were moved incorrectly. After that play, we said it was still third down. We had signalled third down prior to the play starting. The stakes just got moved incorrectly." Triplette defended not stopping play, saying it would have given an "unfair advantage." But Blandino said Monday that was the wrong decision. Giants defensive end Justin Tuck, who played every snap, said he was aware it was not a first down. "I remember turning to the referee and saying, Thats not a first down, " Tuck said Monday. " Obviously, theyre hurrying up, you dont really have time to argue it. "I think at the end of the day, it was actually the right call. It might not have come across in the right manner, but I think it was the right call. And when the ball is getting snapped that fast, its very tough for a referee to get all of these calls right."

The West Brom defender, whose own goal had put Spurs in front in the first half, headed home Craig Gardners corner in the 73rd minute at White Hart Lane, leaving Leicester with the chance to wrap up the title with a victory over Manchester United at Old Trafford on Sunday.Here, we round up the biggest talking points on a bitterly disappointing evening for Mauricio Pochettinos men… Leicester on the brink Tottenham players look dejected after the final whistle Dawsons equaliser prompted wild celebrations among the West Brom supporters at White Hart Lane and the reaction must have been similar among Leicester fans watching at home.Spurs desperately needed three points after Claudio Ranieris sides emphatic 4-0 victory over Swansea on Sunday, but the draw leaves them seven points off the summit. The Foxes need to take just three points from their games against Manchester United, Everton and Chelsea to guarantee the title - meaning they could be crowned champions before Spurs face the Blues on Monday. Nerves get to Spurs Mauricio Pochettino was disappointed to see his title-chasing Tottenham side spurn so many chances to win the game against West Brom. Tottenhams exhilarating title challenge has been characterised by a fearless mentality but for the first time all season, they allowed the nerves to get the better of them at White Hart Lane. In front of goal, they were uncharacteristically sloppy, with a total of two shots on target their lowest of the season so far, and there were signs of indecision as they lost their way in the closing stages. This is the youngest team in the Premier League and a team thats never been anywhere near this before, said Sky Sports pundit Graeme Souness. It certainly looked like it got to them in the second half. It became a nervy affair for them. I think some of the Tottenham players did freeze.Jamie Carragher agreed. Dont forget how many times Leicester have won 1-0, he said. It would have been a huge result, but it takes it back to Leicester and how much credit you have to give them. Tottenham have been in that situation tonight and they couldnt quite hang on.Alli in trouble? Tottenhams Dele Alli appeared to hit out at West Broms Claudio Yacob Tottenham will also be sweatiing on Dele Alli, who could be facing FA action after appearing to lash out at Claudio Yacob in the first half.dddddddddddd. The Tottenham midfielder, who was named PFA Young Player of the Year on Sunday night, received close attention from the Argentine throughout the game - and Souness insists its something hell have to get used to.Hes got to accept that lesser lights like Yacob will try and mess him around, said Souness. Hes getting all the attention at the moment as hes the Young Player of the Year. Hes going to get that from a player like Yacob. Hes there to be a spoiler and stop people playing - Allis got to live with that.Pochettino insisted he had not seen the incident in his post-match interview with Sky Sports, but Spurs will be aware that Alli may be hit with a ban if the FA decide to take retrospective action.Dier concern for Spurs Eric Dier was forced off with an injury after West Broms equaliser Alli is not the only midfield concern for Spurs, who also had to watch Eric Dier trudge straight down the tunnel after picking up an injury when Dawson netted West Broms equaliser. The 22-year-old has been a revelation in the holding role this season, and Spurs do not have a replacement in the same ilk.The lack of cover hasnt been an issue so far this season as Dier has started all but one of their 35 Premier League games, but a spell on the sidelines would leave Pochettino facing a challenge to ensure they do not lose their balance in midfield in the remaining games of the campaign.West Brom raise their game Tony Pulis was pleased with the work rate and organisation of his West Brom side as they held Tottenham to a 1-1 draw Having already hit the 40-point mark and lost four of their previous five Premier League games, West Brom were not expected to put up much resistance at White Hart Lane. They certainly struggled in the first half as Spurs took the lead and hit the woodwork twice, but they were much improved after the break, when they had nine shots to Tottenhams five.West Brom in the second half were a totally different team, said Souness. They were bang at it. I think what we have witnessed tonight could only happen in the Premier League. Youve got a team who are playing for nothing and should be in their armchairs who have gone to the potential league champions and got a result and frustrated the life out of them.
