re: Colts vs Titans Game Thread

A first down marker is not the goal line. The goal line is a unique animal in itself - it has an invisible plane that extends from the front edge of the goal line upwards into infinity. So all you have to do is extend the ball and break that invisible plane, and its a touchdown...


A first down marker isn't like that at all. You can't extend the ball past the marker, and then claim a 1st down. It's where you last touched the field before the play is ruled down, and in this case, the last point in-bounds where Brissett stepped was where the ball should be marked. He extended the ball past the 1st down marker before going out of bounds, but that doesn't matter....
