Whyd they decline the TD penalty?

[vegasphan]

I only watched the action on NFL.com. I know its preseason and all but a penalty nulliefied a td pass that sage threw, but the jags declined it?

Was it just to get their offense back on the field?

They didnt. They called the wrong player (and team) by mistake.

Oh. so it was a penalty against the jags?

 

[yankeehillbilly]

yeah......this is how NFL.com's play by play read

4-4-JAC4 (5:20) (Shotgun) S.Rosenfels pass to J.Rader for 4 yards, TOUCHDOWN. Penalty on MIA-D.Spragan, Defensive Holding, declined.

We were on offense, so how could it be DEFENSIVE holding. And Donnie Spragan is a linebacker....why would he even be on the field with the offense.

All i saw was penalty and MIA. So it confused me.
