Did he throw the red flag before the runner crossed into the end zone? Would that change anything?
Granted, Schwartz is a dumdum, but why would he throw the red flag before the ref signaled a TD?
To challenge that the knee was down, not the td.
Dumb rule

Here's the best explanation of the rule I've seen from Kevin Seifert. The object is to get the calls right and I agree with him that the league will probably revisit it during the offseason.
This league only cares about their bottom line & how much profit they can make.
They're completely uninterested in getting the calls correct on the field, which makes me increasingly more uninterested in their product

The rule that negated using video replay to confirm a Houston Texans touchdown "may be too harsh" and will be re-examined immediately, NFL director of football operations Ray Anderson said Friday.
**********************************
"Not being able to review a play in this situation may be too harsh, and an unintended consequence of trying to prevent coaches from throwing their challenge flag for strategic purposes in situations that are not subject to a coaches' challenge."
**********************************
The rule was adopted in part because of a situation in a Redskins-Giants game in December 2010.
Officials on the field ruled a fumble recovered by the Giants, and the ball was made ready for play. But Washington veteran linebacker London Fletcher kicked the ball and was called for delay of game. While the penalty was being enforced, Washington challenged the ruling of a fumble.
The competition committee felt that a team could benefit from committing a penalty in that situation, giving it more time to challenge a play. It was decided that the new rule would also apply when a team throws the challenge flag on a play that can't be challenged - including scoring plays, turnovers, when the team is out of challenges or timeouts, and inside the final two minutes of a half or game, or in overtime.

Ya think, Ray?!?!
Ya think simply handing the Texans a TD they didn't earn is wrong?
You lousy &*^(&*%$)_^#%&%. Get your head outta your ass!

So Boris, are you going to the Draft again next April?
Yet another stupid, arbitrary rule in a rulebook full of vague, pointless and pathetic rules. They should...revise.
All coaches should also have a green flag that they can use once during an entire season to counter the red flag of the opposing coach. If they go the entire season without using their green flag they earn a second green flag in the following season. If a team holds four green flags they can trade the flags in for a golden jock which they can chose to throw on the field against the opponent of their choice for an automatic win.

Pete Carroll already used his.
Whats funny is seeing Schwartz walking up and down the sidelines telling everyone, "That's on me!!"
It maybe a bad rule but I thank the pass interference non-call the play before might have been worse. I don't think the NFL figured in having such controversy after drumming into the Coaches head that every touchdown would automatically be reviewed.
