The early Will Hill call,


It shouldn't have been illegal use of the hands. I thought it was easily illegal contact live though if he was past 10 yards. I'll need to take a look at it on NFL Rewind.

That was really close. He had possession when he rolled over right when his knee was hitting out but his elbow was in. I'll reserve my judgement when I see it on NFL Rewind. Live I thought he was out.

That was undoubtedly roughing the passer. Do I like the rule? No. It is absolutely roughing the passer in the NFL today. He stepped into him and made contact above the neck and into his chin/facemask

I'm a football official for high school, college, and semi-pro (which uses NFL rules). Here are my thoughts.

Was the right call, but it was pretty ticky tacky. It was barely there. I wouldn't have called it.

If their reasoning is that he regained possession from the DB before going out of bounds, that's a bad call. Once he regained possession, he was already out. The only thing I can think of is they decided simultaneous possession. Both players had equal possession of the ball while they were in bounds before the ball came loose and the WR regained possession. This would make it a catch and fumble going out of bounds (but there was no bean bag to mark the spot of the fumble). Simultaneous possession goes to the offense.

By rule, that was roughing the passer. Right call, bad rule.


Also, nobody has mentioned the inadvertent whistle they had on Ingram's first fumble (the one that was overturned and the Saints kept the ball). After he appeared to go down, but before anyone gained possession of the fumble, at least one official blew his whistle.
