Question: 11/21 Colts/Bills Game (Professional)


Yuccaguy

Question

According to who I spoke with....

Wentz fumbled the ball (not 4th down).  It was picked up by a Colts lineman, and immediately blown dead.

Did we miss something on that one?  I thought the "Holy Roller" rule only applied to 4th recoveries of a fumble, by the fumbling player?

In this case it was killed immediately....hmm???  Why so?

It must have been in the last 2 minutes of the half or the game. In the last 2 minutes, only the fumbler may recover and advance. Any other player of the recovering team gets it, the ball is dead.

So this DID happen in the last 2 minutes?   (Holy Roller rule applied)
