Im one to always criticize officials,and the way the rules are it should have been a TD as the ball touched the line while in his possession.I believe the ball should have to cross the second half of the line and if you reach out and it is knocked out its a live ball,just like any other play.You reach out for a first down and the ball is knocked free it is a fumble,just cuz you get the first down doesn't mean shit,have to possess it all the way.A TD should be the same way.

eeeerock, that is like saying if you run past home plate and they tag you, then you're out. Once you tag home, its a run.

Tough call. I think it was prob a touchdown but I also think they got it right on replay. Not enough there to overturn it with the bobbling of the ball. And I was also on Tenn and the over, which I did end up getting both but the total wasn't easy.

I'll never understand how so many players don't realize how important it is to protect the ball that close to the goal line. A fumble at the goal line can easily turn into a touchback so you get these "sudden change" situations that turn probably 7 points, almost definite 3 points......into a turnover and 20 yards to the opponent.
