One thing i've learned, never come to an officials website to complain or discuss an official missing a call. A vast majority of officials will never admit an official missed a call. This is obvious, there was a facemask, and regardless in the NFL hands to the face/head of a QB is an automatic roughing penalty. So there is a penalty there.

But the explaination I've heard is once there is a fumble the officials attention goes to the ball and watching to see what happens to it. So it is very logical and understandable that he would not see the penalty.
