The Baltimore Ravens did not challenge a key drop early in the third quarter by Wes Welker that was ruled on the field as a completed pass. If the play was overturned, the Denver Broncos would have been forced to punt. The Broncos quickly snapped the ball on the next play, which was a 34-yard catch and run from Peyton Manning to Demaryius Thomas.

The Broncos scored a touchdown two plays later to take a 21-17 lead that triggered an onslaught from Manning.

"This is the first I've heard of it," John Harbaugh said after the game. "That's something you have to see. It would be nice if NBC would show it, but we didn't have a chance to look at it."

The ball was snapped approximately five seconds after the replay ended.
