Did officials blow call on Adam Jones' "fair catch"

With 2:30 remaining in regulation and Seattle barely holding onto a 24-21 lead, punt returner and Bengals cornerback Adam Jones glided under Seahawks punter Jon Ryan's 51-yard punt.

A quick and low hand movement from Jones was seen before he took off to return the ball.

After securing the football around the 23-yard line, Jones gracefully sprinted upfield as various Bengals and Seahawks players stood around. OK, that's odd. Once Derrick Coleman tackled Jones around the 45-yard line, Jones realized the officials declared a fair catch (the aforementioned hand movement), wiping out a return with significant implications.
