VIDEO: Either Jim Nantz Screwed up this Tom Brady Fumble, or the Refs Did
By Jason McIntyre
Tom Brady. QB sneak. But then, a scrum … he fumbled! And Pittsburgh appeared to recover. According to Jim Nantz of CBS, Pittsburgh did recover. But the refs didn’t think it was a fumble.
So Mike Tomlin challenged. And the replay showed it clearly was a fumble – even Phil Simms agreed it was a fumble – but then New England got the ball back?
What?
In that video, you hear Nantz say, “they did say, after the challenge flag, they had a clear recovery by Pittsburgh.”
For reasons that don’t make sense, the CBS announcers never went back to the critical fumble.
Your guess is as good as mine.
