Watching the Chiefs v Lions
In the 3rd quarter Breeland for the chiefs returned a fumble 100 yds for a touchdown. The tv comms said he wasnt touched but the replay clearly shows a Detroit player touching him just after he starts running.
Did the Detroit player need to bring him to ground to stop him ?

Need to be touched and downed on the body between the knees and elbows

Breeland had to be touched while his knee, elbow, or butt was on the ground. he would be considered "down by contact" if he was touched while on the ground. but he was already back up off his hands and knees and so that's nothing, like a RB running the ball and people touching him while he's on his feet, that's not a tackle.
 
May have been a slightly missed case of DPI on that last Hail Mary as well
Not missed at all. The NFL chose to ignore it. Literally. Why dafaq did they introduce a PI review rule for??


According to Pro Football Talk, Al Riveron, the NFL’s senior vice president of officiating, "looked at the play but decided not to conduct a full-blown replay review."

There where so many blatant missed calls in this game it’s not funny. Oh it was nice of Hitchens to Bob up again with another full frontal non PI call.

Nah. Golladay made a half hearted attempt to touch him but he like everybody else thought the play was dead and that Johnson was ruled down. Heads up play by Breeland. The campaigner took off like a thief in the night. You gotta play to the whistle.
 
this is not news, but it always angers fans when it happens. fans feeling ripped off that their unpopular/underdog team lost a close game to a fancied rival due to bad officiating. the nfl always tries to help (thru officiating) the best teams to ensure they have boxseat playoff spots.
PI calls and non-calls were made reviewable this year, and those reviews are automatically generated by a replay official inside the final 2 minutes of both halves.

Rich McKay, the chairman of the NFL’s competition committee re Hail Marys, “Everybody is shoving, everybody is trying to get the ball, knock it down, or catch it. We tell the officials, ‘make sure you see if anybody gets pulled down or anybody gets dragged down, that is pass interference.’

Review that FN thing like your supposed to. That’s what the new rule was brought in for. Sick and tired of the constant shafting. Never ends with the SOL.
