Not rightly sure I see that in excess of 10 knot tailwind.
The mishap occurred at about 0845Z and they 'landed' on runway 12L.
Here's the reported hourly weather observations from an earlier post on this thread:

Are you looking at the TEMPO perhaps?
Some airlines buy data from the manufacturer for 15 knot tailwinds and also higher OAT's, not sure if it is available for the Triple.
If you demanded a landing into the traffic flow at ATL or JFK you'd probably hear from the chief pilot's office, right?
