Bears / Colts 09/07/2008 – Colts Fumble On Kickoff Return Terrible Call
The replay shows it is clearly a fumble, there was no disputing that. The reasoning provided was because they could not tell who had the ball at the bottom of the pile. Garret Wolfe came up with the ball when the pile cleared, but apparently they have to tell who has it at the bottom or they give it back to the offense??? Sounds like a load of crap to me. I was always under the impression that if you can’t see the bottom of the pile, which you usually cannot, it goes to whoever comes out with the ball.
