I thought the timing of this was beyond interesting.
Apparently Inside the NFL edited the video of the Richard Sherman - Julio Jones pass interference no-call to make the play look more one-sided. All this happened about a week after the NFL announced that teams can't post videos on social media. The timing seemed interesting, especially since I don't recall a sports program being accused of manipulating game footage before.
Do the two events have anything to do with one another? Probably not... unless you believe in conspiracy theories. In that case it would seem like a calculated move to allow the league and sports networks to manipulate and frame the conversation in order to create more drama/ratings.
Obviously the actual video is available, but without teams/players posting videos on social media it at least becomes far less visible online and easier to frame the narrative, either by talking about things that didn't really happen, or not talking about things that really did happen.
Just an interesting tidbit on how RG may be finding new ways to ruin this game.

NFL Teams Can Now Be Fined for Posting Videos on Social Media
