It's the "holy roller" rule to avoid teams from fumbling the ball forward to gain yards late in the game.
Got it.It's intended so that you can't intentionally fumble forward as your getting tackled after realizing you won't make it to the yard to gain
Indeed it wasTexans lose to Bengals
Browns lose to Jets
Colts blow big lead vs Steelers
Miami with a miracle win
This was a good weekend
Pittsburg and Buffalo likely in the same position regarding whether or not they will want to play their starters.If Cleveland loses to Pitt next week we are in the playoffs regardless of our game.
It’s to prevent players from fumbling on purpose on a 4th down play late. I believe that play that made the NFL make this rule was called the holy roller back in the 80s.That's a stupid rule
I don't see C or D happening. A and B would be fine with meScenario A: We win and are in.
Scenario B: Cleveland loses to Pitt and we are in.
Scenario C: Baltimore loses to Cincy and we are in.
Scenario D: Indy loses to Jacksonville and we are in.
If Cleveland loses to Pitt next week we are in the playoffs regardless of our game.
I don’t see Baltimore or Indy losing next weekend. The Browns losing is the most likely to happen of the three scenarios.Scenario A: We win and are in.
Scenario B: Cleveland loses to Pitt and we are in.
Scenario C: Baltimore loses to Cincy and we are in.
Scenario D: Indy loses to Jacksonville and we are in.
You were going for the browns, i take it?That's a stupid rule
Steelers NEVER want to lose to the Browns...they play them hard and without mercyI can see the browns losing to the Steelers
