On the ultimate play of the Seattle Seahawks’ 20-17 win over the San Francisco 49ers, outdoors linebacker Derick Corridor intercepted a lateral try for what would ordinarily be a fumble restoration and turnover.
Besides this received’t go into the gamebook as a turnover.
Referee Brad Rogers introduced a penalty for offensive go interference on 49ers tight finish Erik Saubert (who was very clearly blocking downfield earlier than Brock Purdy threw the ball). He mentioned the penalty was declined, which logically would counsel a turnover as the ultimate play of the sport. Within the gamebook, the penalty was listed as accepted, which might make no sense from a Seahawks perspective. Evidently, Rogers misspoke, and the rule signifies that that is an computerized “no-play” and due to this fact no fumble restoration for Corridor.
Professional Soccer Speak’s Mike Florio examined this sequence via the lens of Deebo Samuel 4.5 receptions prop bettors—Samuel had 4 catches, and the final play would’ve been his fifth—however this assertion from the league however explains what occurred.
“As per NFL scoring guidelines, when an offensive foul happens on the final play of a half and the offensive group positive factors yardage on the play, the play is nullified in its entirety. There isn’t any declining of a penalty. The half or sport is over. The announcement was incorrect because it ought to have declared the sport over as an alternative of claiming the penalty was declined.”
Had the Seahawks had run the lateral again for a landing then the play would’ve stood.
Clearly, this isn’t as essential as say, consecutive timeouts which will or could not have been referred to as. That is simply to clear up one thing which may have been a bit complicated for some who had just a little extra driving on the result of this sport, whether or not for playing or fantasy soccer functions. There’s no stat correction coming; Samuel completed with 4 catches, Corridor didn’t get his second fumble restoration of the season, and the Seahawks didn’t add to their takeaway complete. Crucial stat? Seahawks 20, 49ers 17.
