After conferring, the officials rule at was an "illegal forward pass" and not a fumble.
While probably technically the correct call, what are the chances that the rule covering this situation will be revised in the offseason?

Why should the rule be changed???? A fumble is a fumble and a pass is a pass. If anything gets changed it needs to be the "down by contact" BS. You fall, your down.
