I am just looking for your opinion about this.
Our local news station has a local Football Play of the Week.
This week was a player that called for a fair catch after a punt. The other team saw it but the officials didn't. So, they didn't blow any whistles. But, the other team, let down their guard. The player catching the ball, not hearing a whistle, caught it and ran back for a touchdown.

I understand it was legal but, is it really something that should be called Play of the Week? And, if it was the NFL, would it be a reviewable play?
