Once the ball hits the ground, the play is dead. It was the right call, by a hair. |

I think the NFL has been doing more of those dead ball calls. The first one I thought of was Winfield's taunting penalty to Tyreek last year after that 4th down incompletion. Different deal, obviously, since that wasn't targeting from a defender who was reacting to a play in progress, but calling dead ball fouls that way on 4th down does seem to be an emphasis of the NFL lately. |

We are going back to the big one.

It sure seems to give guys a green light on 4th downs to go being a guided missile out there. Seems to run opposite of what the league's been trying to do on those plays. |
The league is fattening the Chiefs up for the Super Bowl.
Jeff Triplette will probably call that game. |
Good draw for KC. Seems either NFL wants KC in the Super Bowl or they just want the officials to stay the **** out of things, so you can see games like last night play out on the field instead of by the flags.
That said, Bengals in Super Bowl isn't a great sell for the NFL. Chiefs vs. Rams is the game EVERYONE wanted 3 years ago and in Rams home stadium. Chiefs vs. 49er's The Rematch is also appealing and will pull in LOTS of viewers. I'm pretty confident the NFL 'prefers' KC to win this game next week. Now they just need to go do it . . . . . . . |

It is a bright line rule. Although I agree you could write the rule so it was like roughing the passer where it didn't matter whether the ball had sailed by or hit the ground. Teams aren't throwing on fourth down all that much. |

Not good according to this site speculating on the super bowl ref based on past trends: https://www.footballzebras.com/2022/...ne-of-these-2/ They predict either Blakeman or Torbert (the assface from the Bengals game). |

Are we really going to argue that should be a dead ball foul? It’s just an odd application of that rule and one that I think they should fix/clarify. I hate targeting but that’s EXACTLY the kind of thing it exists to prevent and the Rams really didn’t suffer for it. |
