Why was that ruled a touchback. He gained control on the one and rolled into the endzone
Also questioning fumble touchback. Clearly had possession before going into endzone. Momentum exception would put it at the 1, not a touchback.
Darin of course you are correct. Ben and company only parrot what joe and troy tell them or dean tells them to say . Maybe a safety there or ball at 1 but certainty not a touchback.
T bone
“Gained possession with left leg touching the goal line so it is a touchback.”
What rule number says you can have a touchback with the ball outside the endzone on a fumble? The exception “it is a touchback…touches a player of the kicking team who is touching the ground on or behind the receiver’s goal line” only applies to scrimmage kicks.
What rule? Whatever immaginary one ben makes up to justify a call so he can get in good with NFL.
This crew sucks Vinovich sucks. Clearly a facemask on Rodgers and the no slide against Rodgers. Pitiful and embarrasing. No wonder fans think its rigged
