The NFL and its referees are going to have some explaining to do to the San Francisco 49ers after an obvious Seattle Seahawks fumble was missed on replay review on Thursday night.
On a chaotic punt to open the fourth quarter, 49ers special teams player Chris Conley was pushed into Seahawks returner Dee Williams before the punt came down, initially drawing a flag as the ball bounced away from Williams and the 49ers appeared to down it. The referees came together and correctly decided Conley was shoved into Williams by Seahawks special teamer Devon Witherspoon, taking the penalty away.
