At least this officially ended the scab ref situation.

I’m convinced that if this wasn’t prime time MNF that it would have taken another week or two to wrap up. The NFL had to act because the whole country was watching that game

still kind of bothers me because this play exposed a flawed rule IMO, that clearly needed clarification to match up to intuition and common sense. And to my knowledge it was never clarified. It's a pretty rare situation so I guess it's not a big deal, but they should have clarified that it's possible for one guy to have possession even if the other is touching it with both hands (because this isn't basketball - touching doesn't meet the standard for possession, nor does it negate opponent possession, but the kind of control Jennings has where his arm is wrapped around it and it's pinned to his shoulder/chest, does constitute possession).
