Am I the only one having a hard time believing that's what the referee actually said?!?
Speaking of announcers who don't know the rules- anyone catch Sunday Night Football last night? That Theismann gets dumber every week!
Opening kickoff, Bills player appears to catch the ball on the 1 then his momentum takes him into the EZ where he kneels it. Officials appeared to correctly place the ball on the 1 using the momentum exception and JT goes off on a rampage saying he can't for the life of him figure out why it's not a touchback... "he took a knee in the EZ!!!"
The Bills challenge it and the ref determines the catch wasn't completed until the second foot came down- at that point the ball was in the EZ. Touchback.
Joe T was dumbfounded for at least 10 minutes on that one.
In HS or college, the ball on the 1 was the correct call here with one foot down.
It was the Bills' best play all night.
