Was he touched by a Bills player that caused him to drop? Otherwise I believe he would be permitted to get up and continue running.

 

i think carpenter atleast got a hand on him? but im not sure.

I didn't see most of the game (was at work). I assumed this was referring to the last kickoff return that came to midfield. I thought Carpenter forced him out, which wasn't before the 33 (Mia side). Am I thinking of the wrong play?

I think you are right, you can see a Bill on the ground a few yards back, so I will assume that is after Carpenter got his hands on Thigpen. Wouldn't that constitute down by contact?

I don't see any BIll touching him, so it is not proof.

 

Just watched the KO again on NFL Rewind. Carpenter definitely got a piece of him and his knee touched down at the 33 yard line. The announcer even remarked that he was slowed down by Carpenter.

if he actually touched him, yes. but if thigpen juked/tripped himself while avoiding carpenter it would not. honestly, i dont recall the exact interaction between the two, but id think he atleast touched him.

thats what i thought, but wasnt 100% sure. simply put, they flubbed the call then. it happens, and im glad it didnt effect the game.

I believe, based on what happened yesterday in the Pittsburgh game, kickoffs aren't reviewable.

 

For those who didn't see the Pittsburgh game, in the final minute Emmanuel Sanders looked like he returned a kickoff for a TD. One of the officials thought he stepped out. The ref came over the PA and said he was out of bounds(it was really close) and that it wasn't reviewable.
