The Pittsburgh Steelers may have lost two games in a row, but at least their losses have generated conversations about rules, and that’s always exciting. Right?
Last week, after falling to the Denver Broncos 24-17, the conversation about the fumble in the end zone rule was brought up again. If an offensive team fumbles before crossing the goal line and the ball leaves the field through the end zone, the result is a loss of possession and a touchback for the opposing team.
That is what happened to Xavier Grimble early in the game, just a split second and inches making the difference between a touchdown and a turnover.
