A player may not bat or punch:
(a) A loose ball (in field of play) toward his opponent’s goal line or in any direction in either end zone.
The draft kings millionaire maker was decided on that play.
What would have happened if the Seattle player just fell on the ball in the endzone?
A touchback.
I'm impressed with his Matrix like ability to slow down time then....
What a bunch of BS. How in the WORLD did the ref not see the ball getting batted? I mean LOOK:
Lions should have been awarded the ball on the one yrd line 1st down. What an embarrassment that the NFL, a league that rakes in billions cannot find Refs who know the rules of the game and even worse was there were head officials in NY watching at the same time. That situation should have been corrected right then and there.
Aren't all turnovers reviewed by the main office and officials? It does make you wonder why NONE of them figured the call out.
doesn't mean that penalty is "reviewable", as stupid as i think it is that only certain penalties can be reviewed.
I think the ref thought it wasn't blatant and nobody was around the guy so he could have just fallen on the ball so it wouldn't have made a difference in the outcome.

i know we're not paid NFL refs in here, but did anyone else know that was illegal at the time it happened? i know i sure as shit didnt, thought it was a smart ass play lol.
Not sure if that could be a reviewable penalty or not, but I personally think any score or turnover review should include penalty review and/or assessment if the penalty directly affects the play (ball or ball carrier).
Yeah, the refs probably didn't consider it blatant for whatever reason.
Refs are killing the game overall. Too many damn penalties, and they miss a game changer at the end of a game. How???

Yes, a game two weeks ago were the turnover was reviewed and part of the discussion was whether when the defender went to grab it but was unable to causing it to move further down field to see if it became a push (to keep away from offense recovering) and therefore a penalty.
