On the muffed punt recovery, CBS showed an upfield angle where you can see the ball rolling under the Patriots player. He never had control of the ball. The call on the field should have been confirmed.
I agree with Bob. Ball moved and by the time he had complete control he was OB
There were a lot of missed calls, but the muffed punt was not one of them.
