NFL VP of Officiating Still Maintains Correct Call Was Made on Duke Johnson Fumble Sunday

The NFL continues to do damage control over the obvious missed call from Sunday’s Browns 31-20 loss to the Redskins in which the team lost a fumble when it appeared to everyone it should have been their ball.

Everyone knows about the call – Duke Johnson fumbled the football when the Browns were in position to build on a 20-17 lead, and right away the officials ruled the ball belonged to the Redskins – literally seconds after the ball hit the ground.

This all took place despite Johnson coming out of the pile holding the ball in his hand.
