"We'll review all the angles," Blandino said on Monday Night Football. "On TV it looked like the Seahawks player intentionally hit the ball. That is a foul. The result of the penalty would give Detroit possession enforced at the spot of the fumble. With half the distance to the goal line, Detroit would have had a first down." Is that clear enough for you? |
There was never any dispute in our discussion that it was a penalty, or that it should have been caught. I even opened with "I'm fairly sure the refs knew it was a penalty at the time." My comment was taking a stab at why it wasn't called.
You've seen the play in question. Set aside everything but the play itself. Do you believe there was any possibility of the Lions recovering the ball before it went out of bounds?
