Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay might want to delete the X app off of his phone.
After a handful of questionable defensive penalties set up the Cleveland Browns for a game-winning field goal against the Colts on Sunday, Irsay shared an update on Wednesday that the NFL admitted the ending of that game shouldn’t have been called as it was.
“The NFL admits and understands that they did not make the correct calls at end of Sunday’s Colts/Browns Game,” Irsay wrote in a social media post. “I believe we need to institute Instant Replay for all calls, including Penalties, in the last two minutes of All Games.”

That might make Colts players, coaches and fans endeared to know their grievances were legitimate with the way Sunday’s game ended, but there’s only one problem.
Per NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, team officials aren’t allowed to share how post-game conversations with the NFL go when it comes to the officiating, which is exactly what Irsay did on Tuesday night.
The NFL communicates with teams on a weekly basis about various calls. Team officials are prohibited from commenting publicly on those discussions. Now, a team owner has publicly said the league admitted to officiating mistakes. Stay tuned …

Well, Irsay has gotten in plenty of trouble already this year with his unpredictable social media habits, and it sounds like more trouble maybe headed his way with this allegedly rule-breaking tweet.
