Fumble

#1, it was a legit flag. Apparently, the rule that you must touch a downed runner with two hands goes back to 1978. It sucks, but they refs made the right call.

#2, we would still have to beat Atlanta and a very much improved Carolina team. It's not like we just get home field advantage from the results of that one game.

Yea you are right on the rules. Hope 26 doesn't get a fine, that was a great football play imo. Just pissed they lost and that was a game changer.

I agree. Dude got mashed at the same time by two different players. It looked like he got knocked unconscious. But yeah- it's kind of a dumb rule, especially since special teams players are trained to take peoples' heads off at the first possible second they can.

I loved the hit. 26 had great instincts. That's a good football play. No doubt about it. IT was violent.
