The trip was right out in the open, right near the running QB; so, it was a penalty that was easily seen. (It wasn’t like it was away from the play.) I mean, if they’re going to call Green for holding (a hold that didn’t affect Ben’s two-point score), then they absolutely have to make a call in that trip.
As I’ve stated elsewhere in the past 24 hours: call it or don’t call it… but, call it the same both ways.
