KIRKLAND, Wash. (AP) -- The Seahawks received rare word from the NFL that referee Larry Nemmers erred Sunday on the New York Giants' two touchdowns in Seattle's 24-21 overtime victory.
"I had a conversation with the league, and there were mistakes that were made, which we felt at the time," said Seattle coach Mike Holmgren, one of eight men on the NFL competition committee that oversees rules and game operations.
The NFL said touchdown catches made by Jeremy Shockey and Amani Toomer shouldn't have been ruled completions.

I've been hearing all day about how we got outplayed by the Giants. Yeah, we didn't look good, but we should have won that game in regulation because the Shockey catch wasn't a touchdown. We're a convincing 9-2 and we're in the driver's seat. Bring on Indianapolis on Christmas Eve!
