If his knee touched the ground it happened when it was blocked by an Atlanta players helmet and the refs would NOT have had indisputable evidence to overturn it.

See pictures...

This is the only moment that his knee could have touched the ground but 45's helmet is blocking the view to prove it.



When the helmet finally does clear, u can see daylight between his knee and the turf.



At this point his thigh and elbow are down. But no one is touching him...



He's still not touched unless 23 is touching on the back side of his helmet and the ball has broken the plane...



This is the exact moment his helmet moves from 23's hand touching him. No one else is touching him. Ball CLEARLY over the plane...

Any body part other than a hand or foot = a knee. His elbow was down.

He was touched on the way down, therefore he's down once anything other than the hand or foot touches.

Sucks, but the refs were 100% correct to overturn it.

If they had ruled him down, I wouldn't care. But they ruled it a TD, and then overturned it with THAT. Such bullshite.

You do realize that nobody actually has to touch you while you are down as long as somebody touched you while you were falling down, right?

OK then... This is the moment that anything can be proven to have touched down. His thigh and elbow touch simultaneously. But now prove to me that the ball hasn't crossed the line?

There's no way they had clear, indisputable evidence that he was down and the ball didn't cross the line... Therefore the call should have been upheld.

It should have stood as called. Had they called it down it should have stood as well. Ridiculous to me to say there was indisputable evidence to overturn it.

The fact that we are disputing this proves that it was not indisputible evidence.

Didn't see the game(by choice) but that's pretty compelling evidence. Terrible call.

Saints should have lost this one.

He was down but the bullshite part was the run off. I can understand a run off on a penalty but on a god damn review is laughable. The bigger travesty is those weasels escaped with two wins that should have been losses.

That is the big thing to me.

The Falcons have now had two games end with their opponent having a 1st and goal from inside the 5 yard line.

Bears had 4 shots at the end zone
Lions had 3 shots at the end zone
