My understanding of this:
1. The exchange from Tomlinson to Chambers WAS a forward pass. I forget the yard markers, but I believe Tomlinson released the ball just beyond the 25 and Chambers caught it at the 26, so the ball was travelling forward.
2. However, the play should have continued anyway (I think) and the TD should have counted. They made the right call, but should not have taken the points off the board.
3. According to NBC's halftime show, the NFL has already stated they will NOT correct the scoring error.
4. Wow.
If someone has better info on this, feel free to add/correct me here.
