I'm fairly sure the refs knew it was a penalty at the time. I can only hazard that they didn't throw the flag because they figured the batting was meaningless to the outcome. I can't really recall them penalizing a punter for batting it out of his own end zone, for example.

You didn't seriously just suggest that a penalty that would've resulted in the Lions regaining possession at half the distance to the goal (from the spot of the foul), would've been meaningless to the outcome of a 10-13 game, did you?

Try again.
