re: Colts vs Titans Game Thread

If the player lands on his knees and extends outward with the ball another two yards, if his knees hit first, than the ball is marked down where his knees landed, NOT where he extended the ball. He has to stay on his feet, or hands, for the ball to be marked where he extended it.

In the case here, the last in-bounds spot where Brissett touched before going out of bounds was where they marked it, not where he extended it. He had to last touch in-bounds past the 1st down marker, in order for the refs to mark the ball past the 1st down marker.

If he dived forward and extended the ball past the 1st down marker, and touched somewhere in-bounds past the marker, then the refs would've marked it a 1st down. But just sticking the ball in the air past the marker means nothing. Doing that only has meaning where the goal line plane is.....
