The Fumble call

I agree with what the Refs saw.  I agree that it was not overturned.  

The ground can not cause a fumble, OK.  The ball was out as his rear end hit the ground, but the ground did not cause the fumble.  The Bengal stripped the ball out.  On TV they showed replays from many camera angles and nothing conclusive to change the call.  

Here is what I saw on TV replays.  As his rear end touches the ground, the ball is in the air far away from him. Now how did the ball get that far away in one camera shot click.  Because the Bengal had already stripped the ball.  It is basic physics that the ball could not be in 2 different places.  The replays show that ball far away from him as his rear end starts to hit the ground, and that would take a couple camera clicks to get that far away. Look at the picture of his rear end just starting to hit the ground, and the ball far away from him in the air.  It can only mean the Bengals stripped the ball first.  So the ground caused nothing. 

For Vikings Fans, we had to live with the Hill Fumble that blew what would have been a Play-Off Win in 2015.   

I agree with The Refs, and the ground did not cause the fumble, the Bengals player caused the fumble. Just good DEFENSE.
