SMH,
The spot was bad on the interception. Jourdan Lewis's right foot was on the goal line (touchback). I was shocked that no one mentioned this. I was going nuts. The ball should have been on the 20. I am not making excuses, however this may have changed the complexity of the game. The team would have been more aggressive with the play calling which possible led to another TD.

The defensive captains, Coach Kris, Rod, Garrett should have went nuts on the terrible spot.

Dang the refs did us in again!!!!
OMG ....LOL...

You should be respectful some time, no need to be a buttclown

I caught that on the replay at the time, but what is the rule exactly? Nobody seemed to have a problem on the broadcast.

Just as on a punt, if the defender foot touches the goal line it is a touchback. I reffed for over a decade, this is discussed in high school league ref meetings.

And Garrett is incompetent in this how?

He threw the challenge flag. He doesn't get to tell the refs where the spot was.

He should have argued with the ref about the spot when the ref told him they had won the challenge. This would have been a great time . He should have blew his lid, if he received a 15 yarder flag, it would have been one inch.

Nice catch for him and you and another indictment on Jason Garrett's incompetence, not that we needed more.

I thought this at the time but am not sure on the rule...

I thought that ball had to be in the endzone?

C’mon bro. Garrett sucks, we all know that, but how is this remotely on him? He threw the challenge flag in the first place and it kept Chicago from scoring on that drive, even though it meant nothing in the end.

It's where the ball is, not the foot.

OMG

the ball was intercepted at the 1 not in the endzone

The same rule as a punt or kickoff does not apply on an interception. The ball would have had to be on the goaline not a body part for the interception to be ruled a touchback.

 

[Tangle_Foot]

Just another example of Lewis not being aware of his surroundings.
And you wonder why it took him so long to see the field, the guy put us in a hole with that selfish interception, just padding his stats with no regard for field position

 

[Wizarus]

Dallas got away with multiple face masks in this game, so I'm not even going to start blaming the refs for missing that too. Overall, the better team won.

Interception uses reception rules, not punt rules. Ball has to be in the end zone to be a touchback, not the foot.

If a pass isn't caught or intercepted, it's a dead ball. A punt is the receiving team's ball as soon as it is kicked and is a live ball. Different rules apply .

Better team didn’t win but yeah refs as usual make calls against us anytime we make a big play but naw can’t blame refs. Not yesterday.
