Browns offense is playing ok. Defense is playing like garbage. I can't believe they've made zero adjustments, especially after Mahomes was hobbled.

I really don’t get the hate for the rule



It's really a situation where there isn't a good rule to make to deal with it. If it's anywhere else on the field the offense would get the ball back where the ball went out of bounds. However should a team be rewarded with a touchdown for fumbling out of bounds? If they are teams will intentionally try to fumble the ball through the end zone ala Dave Casper if they are at the end of a close game and a player is getting tackled short of the end zone and the offense doesn't have a time out. On the other hand if you put the football back at the spot of the fumble when the ball goes through the end zone why is the ball put at the spot the fumble went out of bounds anywhere else on the field? There is just no way to have a consistent principle behind the whole situation.

The Browns D has been a trash can all year - not sure if they can do anything either way.

Only chance is for Mahomes to develop late onset Downs at halftime.

every fumble that goes out of bounds prior to a recovery is placed back to the spot of the fumble and given to the team who fumbled. Works everywhere on the field.

That’s obvious he hit him with hat.

Romo thinking the Browns should have called a timeout is idiotic. The chiefs cost themselves 25 seconds right there.


Chiefs were straddling the fence at that moment. Outside of field goal range on 3rd and relatively long. You don't want to stop the clock in case you don't make the first down but you don't want to eat clock in case you do make the first down.

Pretty sure I would always say the refs should throw the flag when you fly in with the crown of your helmet and your hands by your side
I will say that, by rule, it shoulda been called. However, I think I know the MSB well enough to know what the reaction would be with a few changes in circumstance.

I just think that if the offensive player wasn't diving himself, we wouldn't even notice because guys tackle like that all the time

the replay does look like a more clear helmet to helmet than I remember in real-time, though

Make the rule the exact same as every other fricking time a player fumbles it forward out of bounds

It’s extremely easy and logical

Was thinking the same. Could’ve been way worse.

No, it doesn't, only on 4th down is that the case. Any other time it is where the ball went out of bounds.

I disagree guys tackle by flying parallel with their heads down and hands at their side nailing the offensive players head

then why stop at fumbles? if we agree the endzone is special and should be ruled differently, then why doesnt that apply to incompletions?

It’s not. You can’t fumble the ball forward to advance it. It comes back to the spot of the fumble.
