DENVER -- Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor crossed the goal line and broke into a happy dance to celebrate his apparent 41-yard touchdown. Then he made his way to the sideline where the celebration continued.
And then it stopped abruptly.
Taylor's would-be touchdown, which would have given the Colts a two-touchdown lead in their critical matchup with the Denver Broncos, was under review and, ultimately, overturned, when officials ruled he let go of the football before the ball crossed the goal line.
Taylor unconsciously dropped the ball as he crossed the goal line, perhaps overcome with excitement after the long run.
