Wouldn't have even guessed at that one. All the cases I could think of once I heard about the missed call were legal. Barely knew that there was an illegal case.

However, I should have known. Database guys uncovered 12 calls of illegal batting of the football since 2010. 8 were accepted, 4 declined. Included in that is one by Pittsburgh, penalty accepted by Green Bay in 2010. Estus Hood batted a blocked FG kick illegally. Packers accepted and drive for a TD.

2 of these included balls in the end zone. Zebras should have know. Chris Maragos (Seattle-Badgers) had one called against him in 2013 versus the 49ers during a punt.
