I don\'t know if anyone else perceived the notable SHIFT in what began as an absurd example of announcer bias?  Mayock was truly embarrassing himself early on (both with the Skov blitz/sack and the replayed short-yardage spot ruling).  The later example was particularly transparent when he actually questioned if the ball crossed the 30, when even the mid-field camera angle (which he failed to consider when looking at the play relative to the yellow line) clearly showed that it was very close to, if not past, the first down marker.  The video review process and conclusion exposed him as an obvious amateur Homer.  

However, several minutes later in the broadcast, he made a point of admitting he was wrong in his call of the Skov play, and seemed to be trying hard to be objective.  Gotta wonder if some director or producer finally said something to him, cuz I thought the change was dramatic!?!
