Yesterday's replay challenges question..
 

Since the challenge rules came into the league I have always thought a team gets 2 challenges total, and can use one per half.

Yesterday at the game I know the chiefs used a challenge and the play stood. Then the Vikings used a challenge and the play stood. Then I remember getting all WTF at the Vikings using another challenge in the same half to get a call reversed.

Either too many beers, I do not know the rules, or the Viks got away with a double challenge. Can someone set me straight?

2 challenges per game anytime, not 1 per half.... as long as you have a TO to use per challenge...

You can also use a 3rd challenge if both of the original two challenges were successful....

you can use all yopur challenges in one half...

And if you get 2 challenges right, then you get an additional for free...!

:clap: poop, too slow...

Ahhh thanks peeps!

Still not sure why Herm challenged Huard's fumble. It was either a fumble or a backwards pass. Same result either way.

Sometimes it seems like coaches challenge things like that because they can't believe it actually happened. :rolleyes:

I assumed that even if a defensive player alters a forwards pass it still was just incomplete pass, but obviously I'm mistaken.

You would think that if the arm was moving forward, then he got hit and it turned the QB's position then it would be incomplete. But I don't think he started to throw it until after he was hit and turned side ways. So if they could show that his arm started going forward then it would have been reversed.

From where I was sitting and on the replays on the jumbotron it looked like a forward pass. They replayed it like 5 times and the whole stadium seemed like they wanted a challenge.

I'd have to see it again but it landed 3 yards behind Huard without being deflected, IIRC.
