Should that have been ruled a fumble? Isn't there a rule protecting the runner, if he's injured or knocked out and fumbles the ball and is physically unable to recover ball due to said injury and any fumble won't count? I could be wrong, but Doug Williams in the Super Bowl (a LONG time ago) dropped the ball as his knee was being twisted but the refs ruled it wasn't a fumble.

Just curious.

I believe if they would have flagged the hit.. that would override any fumble since it would be a penalty on them.. just like if we threw a InT but there was a penalty on the opposing team, that overrides the InT
