    Is it only fitting that, in the heart of SEC country, the Falcons are letting Les run this last drive defensively?

    I was going to ask if you let them score there, but it didn't make a difference.

    Someone explain this rule to me: Isn't this a TD either way? Or can you not advance an offensive fumble, for some reason?

    Matt Ryan's rep just took a turn for the worse while he sat and watched on the sideline.

    That's a touchdown. Ball broke the plane.

    I think it falls into the Holy Roller, but that was a TD.

    After the two-minute warning, the offensive player who fumbled it has to recover it to advance the ball.

    Ah. So if they had ruled it hadn't broken the plane, it would have been Seattle ball at the 1-inch line?

    Yes. The ball is dead at the spot of the fumble.

    Or when he threw the interception that gave Seattle life, then missed an open White on the next possession.
