Vic Fangio and referee Ron Torbert had an interesting exchange early in the second quarter of the Broncos’ 27-13 win over the New York Giants at MetLife Stadium on Sunday.
The situation: On second-and-7 from the Giants’ 10, Broncos tight end Albert Okwuegbunam caught a six-yard pass, but fumbled near the sideline. Safety Logan Ryan recovered and the on-field ruling was he secured possession before he touched out of bounds.
All turnovers are reviewed and it appeared the call would be overturned when the Broncos’ offense ran back onto the field.
“You guys probably saw them talking to me the whole way — they first told me it was going to be our ball and they were figuring out where to exactly place it and the timing element,” Fangio said Monday.
