[QUOTE="adambr2, post: 590208, member: 7277"] [url]http://espn.go.com/blog/detroit-lions/post/_/id/14198/jim-caldwell-explains-why-he-challenged-eddie-lacy-non-fumble[/url] According to the explanation they gave Caldwell, Detroit would have been given the ball if they had contacted the ball first without Lacy himself being contacted. So either their explanation was in error or the rule is poorly worded. There is some room for interpretation there. If they slapped the ball out while the player was down, without touching the player, and it became loose, is it a live ball? Since they didn't "take" it, they just knocked it out. Either way it's something that the rules committee should look at in the offseason and address. [/QUOTE]
