Patriots fans say it wasn't a fumble at all and they shouldn't have lost possession. Jaguars fans say it was a clear fumble with a clear recovery and Jack would have returned it for a touchdown had the play been allowed to continue.
I'm simply trying to understand the rules involved.

If you are really looking for an answer, why are you coming here? Seriously, unless I am missing something, there are no NFL active officials on this site.
I think this was a tough play that usually you do not see in that manner. So understanding the rule is not going to change anything during a slow-motion replay. I had to see it a few times to even agree that it was a fumble and that location was from the other side of the sideline official.
Peace
