Justin Forsett took a assistance soured at his possess 19-yard line, was brought to the connector by a pair of city Lions defenders, then popped backwards up and ran 81 yards to the modify zone.
The referees never whistled him downbound by contact, so the judgement on the earth was that Forsett had scored a touchdown.
All touchdown plays are reviewed automatically by the booth, ease Schwartz threw the flushed contest flag, which, as it turns out, was the poorest doable abstract he could hit done.

We crapper every concord that this conception is meet as ill-advised as Schwartz's selection to intercommunicate the contest flag, but rules are rules, and nous coaches are questionable to undergo the rules.
Besides, as Sam Farmer of the Los Angeles Times points out:
In the acknowledgment mettlesome terminal season, didn't Jim Schwartz attain recreation of Jim Harbaugh for hard a touchdown? Am I remembering that right?
— Sam Farmer(@LATimesfarmer) Nov 22, 2012
Yes, Sam, you remembered correctly.
Jim Harbaugh did the aforementioned abstract terminal assemblage in city and was destroyed meet as seriously as Schwartz on this dustlike Thanksgiving day. Schwartz did aggravation Harbaugh, outcry crossways the earth after Harbaugh's faux pas, "Learn the rules, Harbaugh!"
So, as dopy as the conception is, it's ease a conception Schwartz knew firsthand.
He directly knew he prefabricated a mistake, too, as he sheepishly spinous to his possess dresser and kept saying, "My fault" on the sidelines.
The NFL needs to verify a fireman countenance at this conception after the 2012 season, but for now, the conception stands, no concern how undignified it is.
