Did refs miss tripping penalty on Giants' final snap vs. Eagles?

The Giants probably should have been given one last try to tie or win the game on Sunday.

On what went down as the final snap, a pass was thrown to Sterling Shepard, who then lateralled it to Odell Beckham Jr. Eagles linebacker Kamu Grugier-Hill was tackling Shepard, and when the ball went to Beckham, was able to bring him down with a leg swipe that two former members of the NFL’s officiating department who are now broadcasters, Dean Blandino and Gene Steratore said should have been flagged for tripping. No penalty was called.

“I don’t think you’re allowed to trip,” Pat Shurmur said on Monday.
