Returner lobbed the ball at the official in the end zone. Official sidestepped. Bills recovered for a TD. (it was called a touch back)
He gave the signal he wasn't coming out.
That said I would have LOVED if the Pats had been involved in that play.
Didn't they change the rule a few years ago where the KR doesn't have to down the ball in the end zone?
Thanks. Like everyone else I basically walked away to get a drink when he caught it in the end zone.
Who was that ref in the jacket that came in the field and made Corrente change his call? What is his role?
No, although I am rooting for the Bills. Not in any gambling capacity. I just think they can beat Baltimore. Houston loses in Baltimore 42-0.
Is there any other scenario where you could just throw the ball away and it's considered giving yourself up? I get "common sense" understanding of what he's doing, but aren't there actual rules to follow? That was just a boneheaded play by the returner. He doesn't have to catch it, so get away from it if going down to a knee is too much to consider.
Half the team had the flu or was recovering from it. Tough break.
The Pats really did have tough losses against the Chiefs and Texans and Miami. That said, they are going to the Super Bowl.
Exactly. I don't care if his intent was there. Intent doesn't matter. What matters is what he actually does. Let the ball drop and you don't have to worry about it.
Lazy Millennial football players can't even be bothered to bend one knee to the ground.
(Here is where I explain this is a joke because internet).
Yes but also if you are the official, the player catches the ball in a situation where he usually gives himself up, he motions to you that he's about to throw you the ball, he makes an illegal forward pass at you and no one else, and you fucking sidestep the ball and call the other team a TD, maybe you need to reevaluate your professional outlook as an NFL ref
