Should have been 10s from the catch if you’re applying that rule. Brees had the 1st down then you take away the chance to spike with the review then you penalize the no TO. Double jeopardy by the refs there.

NFL senior vice president of officiating Al Riveron admitted that the Saints should have had 15 more seconds to work with during their hurry-up drive at the end of the first half, which resulted in a missed 56-yard field goal attempt...

In Monday's case, referee John Hussey correctly called for a 10-second runoff after officials reviewed the spot following a 17-yard catch by Saints receiver Michael Thomas, since he was tackled in bounds. (The Saints could have avoided the 10-second runoff if they wanted to use their final timeout instead, but they declined.)

However, Riveron said the officials should have first reset the game clock to 41 seconds, because that's how much time was left when Thomas was whistled down. So, the Saints should have snapped the ball again with 31 seconds remaining. Instead, Riveron said the officials "inadvertently set it to 26" seconds, which was the amount of time left on the clock when they called for the review.

That left the Saints with just 16 seconds remaining. Riveron, who handles reviews from New York, was in contact with Hussey during the review of Thomas' catch.

In win, Saints steamed at another officiating error

Drew Brees called the officiating error that left the Saints 15 seconds short on a drive to close the first half Monday night "a game-changer." Said the QB: "Listen, that can't happen."
