Really nothing to review, Bowman clearly had possession and was down by contact. It's the replay rule (and in-play awareness of the officials) that needs to be reviewed. A player has possession of a ball, the official don't recognize it, and then the play can't be reviewed because fumble recoveries are not reviewable.

I think a stipulation needs to be put in place to allow a play to be review to see if the play should have been blown dead at some point before final possession was awarded. It would have fixed this play, and it would have fixed the play in the Steeler/Packer game in the regular season.
