NFL Coverup?

EAST RUTHERFORD, NJ - OCTOBER 20: Head coach Bill Belichick of the New England Patriots argues after the Patriots were called for a penalty on the Jets field goal attempt in the overtime period of the New York Jets 30-27 win over the New England Patriots at MetLife Stadium on October 20, 2013 in East Rutherford, New Jersey.

Did the NFL change their rules to protect the referees after the bungled call this afternoon that gave the Jets another life against the New England Patriots?

In case you missed it the New York Jet's field goal kicker Nick Folk missed a 56-yard field goal, as it went wide left, but the miss didn't count as the Patriot's Chris Jones was called for unsportsmanlike conduct on a 15-yard penalty that had never before been called in an NFL game.  Folk then subsequently kicked a 42 yarder with 5:07 left in overtime and the Jets won the game 30-27.
