God said so:D

While I agree that if the league says it's not a flag, then it's not a flag. But just wait a while and watch when somebody else on a different less media-popular team gets flagged for that exact same type formation. Just sayin'.

That formation isn't called illegal formation a fair amount as well.

"Welcome to Shawshank ... " LOL!

go Saints.

I've never quite paid enough attention to this illegal formation thing. But looking at that photo, if you told me there should be 6 men on the line of scrimmage and there were actually 7, I'd say it's marginal. Too close to overturn if it was reviewable. And if you told me there should be 7 and there were actual 6, I'd say the same. So it's very ticky-tacky to call it.

Which is it, by the way? Should there be 6 or 7?

(And after the lateral-fumble called forward, that cost Denver immediate field goal range and continued a TD drive for Pittsburgh, they couldn't for shame complain about this call!)

Not illegal, his feet are lined up with everyone elses. The OT is leaning forward in a 3-point stance, the end doesn't have his hand on the ground, so his upper body (and head) is further back.
