I don't understand why the Bears got a 1st & goal. Isn't it a fumble and touchback out of bounds, Steelers ball?

If you go by how he has looked in the first and third games this season, Tom Brady looks like he has definitely lost a step.

It's only natural that this would happen since the guy is 40, but people were wondering when he would ever slow down and I think it's possible we could be seeing that now.

Yeah I know some expert claimed they thought he could play to 45 at a high level and such. But it's just so unlikely for any QB to survive that long.

Marcus Cooper with the blocked FG return pulled a Leon Lett and got cocky and slowed down, got caught at the 1 and had the ball knocked out. :lol

I just saw the replay of that Bears player that cost them a TD because he wanted to stop and showboat at the goal line. What a dip shit.

He should be benched for the rest of the game.

I will have you know, I spent a fair amount of time making that gif right above your post. I would appreciate a prop and a quote.

Why did the Bears get a 1st & goal from the 1? There was no time on the clock and it should be a touchback.

Because you can't fumble the ball forward, and since it went out of bounds without either team securing possession, the ball is placed at the spot of the fumble.

I thought any time it was fumbled out the end zone it was a touch back. We've seen it happen as million times.

Case Keenum tearing it up today, Bears beating the Steelers, Texans hanging with the Patriots. WTH is going on?

Because it was illegally batted out of bounds.

I don't think that's right. A team fumbling out of the endzone should be a touchback for the other team.

It normally would be, but the refs called an illegal bat of the ball which is what caused it to go out of bounds, so they placed the ball at the spot of the fumble.

Ahhh, well that changes things. Didn't see that in your original post.
Yeah, when C-Rock replied I realized I had not put that in the post.
