So Cruz technically could have gotten up there and taken off for a TD? Did the whistle blow? Maybe Cruz did decide that he had given up on the play and went down. But I'd bet if he knew he wasn't down by contact he would have tried to get more yardage, and as long as the play hadn't been whistled dead it would have been legal for him to do so. It's just a rule I've never seen before. Kinda like the tuck rule...
