Covey wasn’t down.

I don’t think he was actually down. Others say he was. Ref thought he was. Oh well.

How would have that been for an ending?

🤯

For reference. He fumbled the ball before he was down, picked it up when he was up https://t.co/8JJzJWhAxB pic.twitter.com/191uzwRapT

He was down because the ref whistled him down. So not a fun fact. 

[alUmnUs]

Fun fact: refs have erroneously whistled plays dead before.

Pointless exercise, but I will say that the KR is the only player who can advance his own fumble….

Indeed the “Raider Rule” would seem to apply in this situation.

Yes…I thought the same thing when rewatching the game. Rewound it probably 5-6 time and think he was probably not down when he picked it back up. Oh well, like y’all said whistle blew and that was it no matter what
