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.
He went to the same announcer school as John Madden and Chris Collinsworth and I think he is the worst of the bunch.
