I don't know what to say. You clearly do not understand the NFL replay system. The crew digging through the pile and seeing who has the ball means nothing when it comes to overturning the call. You have to have indisputable video evidence who recovered the ball.

Maybe a quote from the referee who had to make the replay decision will help you..."I have to have clear video evidence of the team recovering the fumble," Steratore said after the game. "It is a pile of bodies in there, and you don't have a clear recovery."
