Question about the 1st half punt

[gmac17]

not that it matters, but on the punt in the first half should that have been a safety for the pats? It clearly touched Rosco, or am I missing a rule?

 

surprised they didn't challenge.

it touched a Patriot player after Mckelvin "may" have touched it, then a Bill recovered it in the End Zone.....no need for Bellicheck to challenge

He did touch it, you could see his fingers get pushed back when it hit the ball

Say it was clear that McKelvin had touched it, and it rolled out of the end zone. Is that, by rule, a safety?

A patriot player clearly touched before being recoevered in the endzone if the Patriot player did not touch the ball it would have been a safety but since they did it was a touchback.
