Any other game and its a fumble for six. I'm telling you guys. I've seen some things man, and some stuff. I wouldn't recommend it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here. I agree that it was a muff, but why do we have to play it where we pick it up? That's the rule. Why they came up with that rule? I don't know.

Agree. Rule drives me nuts. That happened to us last year as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The TD was disallowed and the ball was placed where the muff was recovered. Looks like you can't advance a muffed punt in the NFL either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
