[CBFF] This is more bad news, had it been corrected at the time... Brown and DD don't get hurt... IMO

[Steve Behrens]

Should have been re-kicked... but I can't get upset because there should
have been someone on the Bears team to alert the refs.  I wouldn't expect
the Chargers to say a word about it, and the refs are busy watching the
players... no, it had to be a Bears player or coach to make sure the refs
knew what happened and to at least try to review it to see if it happened.
I saw no such player or coach make any such attempt.
