Official suspended for clock error.

[Hypocycloids]

After the Lions/Seahawks flub, the league taking game changing errors by refs seriously.

The clock started ticking before the first snap of Pittsburgh's final drive, resulting in a time deduction from 2:56 to 2:38. Le'Veon Bell ended up scoring as time expired on a gutsy call, but imagine if he was unsuccessful. Pittsburgh would have been robbed of another chance to win the game.

Accountability, ONLY if need be. NFL at its best!!! I'm glad of the suspention, but you've got a part time ref doing a full time job. Why doesn't the NFL employ full time ref's? The salary paid currently would constitute near full time salary. Maybe it's the health care part of it???
