    The dude caught it on the 5 and took 3 steps before he went in the endzone. I thought once you touch it or possess it, it is down at the spot? If not why not just catch it and run it back 5-10 yards on every punt. That makes 0 sense to me.

    touching is not enough, you gotta control it, but i didn?t get that one either. as soon as he has the ball in his hands, it should be dead, right?

    it should be touching, but they never do it by the touch. I've seen times where the ball is touched at the one but not controlled until a foot is on the line and they call it a touchback.

    the way they call it is weird

    if it stops on the ground, it just needs to be touched, but otherwise it has to actually be caught with both feet out of the endzone, apparently.

    Yet another pathetic defensive play, this time by the Chargers.

    yeah, that's it for challenges for Norv. I think this one stands as well, costing him a timeout

    wasn't a hard call. you could see his foot didn't touch the white.
    if you slow it down like they do, it's a simple call

    Billy Volek moving the Chargers with ease. What a joke.
