On the Etling handoff fumble, did the ball hit the fullbacks thigh?

It looked like when Etling was going to hand the ball off to Fournette that it just slipped out of Etlings hand. However, after the replay, the ball looked like it grazed our fullbacks thigh to cause that fumble? What really happened?

Nope. Etling has tiny hands and dropped it

It fell out of Etling's hand and then hit the thigh which propelled it forward a few yards. Otherwise we'd likely have recovered it.

It looked clear to me that the ball spun out of Etling's hand after it hit Moore....that's what knocked it out.

Are you blind? He dropped the ball way before that

Sorry,but you're wrong.
Just looked at the replay again.
Either the ball slipped out of Etling's hand just as Moore passes him or it hits Moore's wrist as Moore passes him.
I think it's the latter b/c Etling had control of the ball in his left hand and is beginning to reach to hand off....the point of the ball spins as it grazes Moore's wrist & falls to the turf.

Doesn't matter much but the ball comes loose just as Moore runs past Etling.
