Olshansky getting ejected was the right call, but in his defense, was the centre the only guy who actually threw a block on the spike?
Yeah, I know the clock stoppage is more important, but 15 yards and an automatic first down would do more to deter the problem. This is something that should be addressed with the competition committee.

How can you defend Olshansky at all? It's irrelevant whether Nalen threw a block or whether he was the only one.
