Did anyone catch that trick punt return by the Bears?

Post a screen cap of 1:26 of the above video. You can see the flag coming in from the right side. Knox has the ball. The GB player in question is at the 7 yard line & the Chicago player is at the 15.

The screen cap you showed the players at the 35ish yard line. Seems like a long time to throw the flag to me.

The times I was referring to was game time, not youtube video time. He threw the flag roughly 2.5-3 seconds after the hold. Was reaching for it before that.

Gotcha. Makes no real difference to me - just seemed like a late flag from the video above.
