Green Bay -- In an interview with TMZ, replacement official Lance Easley -- the one who ruled Golden Tate's catch a touchdown -- still believes he made the right call in Monday night's game.

"It was the correct call," Easley told TMZ, also adding, "I didn't do anything wrong."

Easley believes that M.D. Jennings did not pull in the interception because, "you have to not only have the ball but have either two feet or a body part on the ground, and that never happened." But as pointed out by Pro Football Talk, that isn't what the rule states.

Easley believes he was the official who had to "fall on the sword" through a string of bad calls over the first three weeks. In that sense, maybe he's right. He wasn't a lone wolf. But it is still mind-boggling that -- in light of such national backlash -- Easley is not changing his stance. He added that the replacement refs "did a damn good job ... for the most part."
