yeah, that was a facemask too.


while i agree it was roughing, wouldnt the facemask have occurred AFTER the fumble, which wouldnt have saved the turnover?

The fumble doesn’t change possession in itself. The facemask would have to occur AFTER the possession has clearly changed. Brees was already on the ground before the 49ers picked up the ball. If facemask would have been called then it would have been saints ball.
