Tuck Rule

[mncardfan]

NFL Rule 3, Section 21, Article 2, Note 2: "When a Team A player is holding the ball to pass it forward, any intentional forward movement of his hand starts a forward pass, even if the player loses possession of the ball as he is attempting to tuck it back toward his body. Also, if the player has tucked the ball into his body and then loses possession, it is a fumble."

Someone try to tell me he had not tucked it in, I mean COME ON REF!!!

I just knew they would score after that. It is on the D not to stop them, but it is still total bull. I hate hate hate hate hate hate the Cowboys.

I don't think he'd tucked it in. His hand and the ball were still in motion when the ball came free.

I wish it were otherwise, but that's what I saw.

The league office will say, SORRY!!!

Can't fix it now. Well, "Fix" is the right word. If your team wins fairly--FINE!! BUT don't believe this is anything but an injustice and an insult to football fans everywhere!

No, he pulled the ball into his body and turned slightly away from the defender, then he fumbled the ball. Its was a fumble...
