Lions included a 14-point swing that happened when Detroit running back Kerryon
Johnson fumbled at the goal line and Kansas City cornerback Bashaud Breeland
scooped it up and ran it the other way for a touchdown.The officials didn’t blow
the whistle to kill the play, preventing what may have been an eventual decision
via replay review that the Chiefs recovered the ball at their own one, but
wiping out the 99-yard return. And that’s generally a good thing, given that the
officials opted to whistle dead an obvious Jared Goff fumble in Week Two’s
Saints-Rams game

donut hole that arises from swallowing the whistle in moments like this. And it
was illustrated by the weekly video from NFL senior V.P. of officiating Al
Riveron.“We were not sure here if the ball is loose or if the runner has control
of the football when he hits the ground,” Riveron explained regarding the review
of the play to determine whether Johnson was down before fumbling. “There is
nothing clear and obvious — no clear and obvious visual evidence to allow us to
change the ruling on the field of a fumble.”While the evidence suggests that the
ball was out, it’s possible that the play falls into the broad gulf where lack
of a clean, clear shot through a scrum of bodies prevents ruling on the field
from being overturned later. If
Kansas City Chiefs Jerseys Stitched , for example, the whistle had been blown, would Riveron have been able to say that the clear and obvious visual evidence showed
that Johnson had fumbled?Thus, at a time when there’s pressure on the officials
to let the play continue (indeed
Discount Darwin Thompson Jersey , Riveron congratulated the crew for not killing the play, even though there’s still a chance it wasn’t a fumble), there’s a very
real risk that an accidental failure to blow the whistle won’t be fixable via
replay review. There’s also a very real risk that, in cases where the visual
evidence will easily overturn the ruling on the field of a fumble
Super Bowl Darwin Thompson Jersey , someone will suffer a serious injury that would have been avoided if the officials had simply trusted their eyes and ended the
action.And maybe that’s ultimately the right answer for officials, especially
when a potential fumble happens in the middle of a cluster of bodies: Make the
decision as to whether the play should end or continue based on what you see
now, not on what you assume Riveron may see later.
