I didn’t see it as a lateral more like he just lost it as he got up, which might tempt me to call it incomplete

Seem like they never reviewed the play.

I agree, the refs should have reviewed it, and that was lousy on their part ...... although I am pretty sure that the result would have been the same, because of what I stated in my previous post.

AND THE COLTS DIDNT CHALLENGE IT!!!!

WHY THE FUCK WOULD YOU NOT CHALLENGE THAT???

Are you allowed to challenge 4 wrong calls on one play?

That was the knock on him coming out.

That wasn’t a fumble. The colts player lost control of the ball trying to get up. He didn’t have possession for more than a second.

THAT WAS NOT AN INTERCEPTION.

Furthermore, it was 3rd fucking down. Where Levis recovered was short of the line to gain.

WHY IN THE FUCK DID THEY CALL THAT A FIRST DOWN???

I think he caught it (got hands under). Then fumbled as standing up and they recovered. So even though not distance for first, change of possession would be a new set of downs for them regardless of spot.

Nah, he would have lost bc Zaire fumbled it, getting up is a football action.

It's possible that he just lost control of it, and was not trying to lateral it ...... but looked to me like it was a catch in the first place, and if that was the case, then him losing it or trying to lateral it would bare the same result. I thought that he caught it, started to get up to run with it, and then either lost it or tried to lateral it to a teammate.

The only explanation I can conceive is that Steichen was told that play wasn’t reviewable, although I cannot imagine why it wouldn’t have been.
