By rule once you touch the ball while the ball is on the ground if your knee is also on the ground its considered dead at that point. That was a good call by the officials.

So when you’re recovering a fumble: ball is on ground, you’re laying on the ground, all you have to do is touch it to have the play called dead as if you recovered it? Pretty sure you have to have possession of the ball to be considered down in any situation of football
