Engine rev while braking

Something weird happened the other day. I have a c7 with an automatic trans. I started the car with the remote star feature. I started to drive and when I applied the break at a stop it started to rev as though I was pressing the gas pedal. I put the car in neutral and turned it off. Has anyone heard of anything like this. I almost felt like calling the dealer. I barely have 600 miles on her.

I'm pretty sure I didn't catch the gas pedal... Could have... Almost positive I was only on the breaks.

The car was probably just rev-mathing a downshift.
