Referee Ed Hochuli missed a fumble call that gave the Denver Broncos a 39 - 38 victory over the San Diego Chargers yesterday. The NFL is looking into changing the rule. The referee will likely be graded down.

I've read this a number of times. Don't referees get graded on every play and "graded down" when they make wrong calls in any game?
