&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span class=”runtimeTopic”&amp;gt;More than anyone else, &amp;lt;runtime:topic id=”ORSPT000042”&amp;gt;Green Bay Packers&amp;lt;/runtime:topic&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt; safety &amp;lt;span class=”runtimeTopic”&amp;gt;&amp;lt;runtime:topic id=”PESPT0013795”&amp;gt;M.D. Jennings&amp;lt;/runtime:topic&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt; is the one guy who should be complaining about the &amp;lt;span class=”runtimeTopic”&amp;gt;&amp;lt;runtime:topic id=”ORSPT000007”&amp;gt;NFL&amp;lt;/runtime:topic&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;’s replacement referees.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Yet, he might just be the one guy who isn’t doing it.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;”They’re human. They make mistakes,” Jennings said of the officials who appear to have cost the Packers a victory Monday night against the &amp;lt;runtime:topic id=”ORSPT000058”&amp;gt;Seattle Seahawks&amp;lt;/runtime:topic&amp;gt;. “So [you] just gotta live with it.”&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Jennings was surprisingly upbeat when talking to reporters following the bizarre ending to the game, during which his apparent interception in the end zone on the final play instead was ruled a game-winning touchdown by Seattle receiver &amp;lt;runtime:topic id=”PESPT0014277”&amp;gt;Golden Tate&amp;lt;/runtime:topic&amp;gt;. The result was a 14-12 Seahawks victory, dropping the Packers to 1-2.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;When asked if he made a clean catch of the ball, Jennings responded, “Yeah, yeah, most definitely.”&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Yet he refused to partake in the ref-bashing trend that seems to be sweeping the nation.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;”I’m not going to get into that,” he said. “I’ll let the league take care of that. I try not to worry about that, just worry about things I can control.”&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;ALSO:&amp;lt;/strong&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;a href=”https://www.latimes.com/sports/la-sp-0925-packers-seahawks-20120925,0,7682666.story”&amp;gt;Seahawks stun Packers on disputed play&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;a href=”https://www.latimes.com/sports/football/nfl/la-sp-0925-plaschke-nfl-officials-20120925-28,0,1808277.column”&amp;gt;NFL losing credibility with each blown call by replacement refs&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;a href=”https://www.latimes.com/sports/sportsnow/la-sp-sn-green-bay-seattle-twitter-reax-20120925,0,4743840.story”&amp;gt;Packers players, NFL fans tweet frustration over replacement refs&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;
