the refs fucked up. first off the call is def reviewable and too anyone with a iq above 7 could tell he was down by contact
I don't understand why this cannot be challenged. The NFL brass is filled with overofficious jerks with too many shitty rules.
Who cares. He was clearly down. How many times do you see a defender pry the ball out of a guy's hands when he is down? It happens all the time. When a player is down, they're down. A fumble is reviewable. Down by contact is reviewable. The refs took the broncos with the points, most likely a 1st qtr play or a halftime play.
WHY DIDNT WE CHALLENGE THAT HE WAS DOWN BY CONTACT? HE CLEARLY WAS TOUCHED BEFORE THE BALL SLIDED OUT?!? That is such a fucking ridiculous call by the refs. It is not even physically possible they could force a fumble before making contact with him when HE IS ON THE GROUND AND HAS POSSESSION! WHATEVER, TOUCHDOWN JETS.
