Well unfortunately, you can't call the game a draw. One person gets the W, one gets the L. So yes, you have to give all the money to him to 'right the wrong' - even though you still won the game (lottery).

So how would you change it in a way that's fair to both teams, still protects the quarterback, and doesn't allow for "accidental" tampering by a ref?  There's the rub.  

The real controversy is going to come when SD misses out on a wild card spot by tiebreaker due to this loss.  Now it's not just a game that's "ruined", but an entire postseason.  

Hemi:
It just needs to be reviewable.

Maybe if you came up with a better hypothetical situation so I can answer better, but as it is, you somehow put me in a situation where I can share and make it right. My answer is not flawed, it's the question.  :)

shardian:
If you make dead ball plays review-able, it opens up a HUGE can of worms, as has already been stated here. At that point, the refs whistle becomes meaningless. Players will truck on, blindside players, annihilate quarterbacks and kickers, etc.

Noone is arguing that this situation doesn't suck (except for Denver fans). It most definitely sucks. Ideally, SD would have shut down the candy plays that Shanahan thrown them, and made things right. They didn't.
