Is the offense not required to field fumbles? I'm not a rules expert, but if a fumble is when no team possesses the ball, if it were called a fumble, why would it make sense to give it to the offense? Neither team picked it up.

That's why the referee call makes sense. Maybe there's some poo poo deep in the rulebook that contradicts it, IDK.

Same reason last team possessing maintains possession if a fumble goes out of bounds

You’re confusing pundits in a booth with actual refs. The play had already been whistled dead. Touching the ball would do nothing. The call was fine given how dumb the situation was.

Yeah I feel like I'm crazy for thinking the outcome of the review was fine and the big mistake was blowing it dead immediately, going as far to run toward the ball before an Eagles player could make a move for it

An immediate recovery could have been awarded possession there if they had decided it was a complete pass + fumble

Why does everyone think they replayed the down? The pass was on second down and the next play was on third down.

Yeah, this is how the refs on the field explained it. I think this rule makes sense, although it's definitely super imperfect. I also think people got all riled up because Terry McAulay had no clue it was the rule
