The NFL said Easley made the correct call but also said the play should have been nullified by an offensive pass interference call on Tate. The call hastened a labor agreement with permanent officials.
Easley said he has retired from all levels of officiating, so he doesn't feel like there was a conflict of interest with him being an umpire in the game.
Easley, who has a book coming out in August about his call and its effect on his life, told reporters Sunday that he should have conferred with other members of the officiating crew before making the touchdown calls but said he he wouldn't change his call.
"I made a call, it was a correct call -- even though Green Bay fans will never say it's correct -- it was a difficult call, and it was one you just don't want. As an official you want black-and-white calls, you don't want gray calls, and that was a gray call that you had to be involved in and make it within a couple of seconds," he said, according to The Herald.
