how the officials missed the San Fran fumble recovery on the play when Bowman was injured? The ball gets knocked loose, Bowman recovers, and then lays down on the ground with the ball in his right arm for 2-3 full seconds before Seattle defenders start jumping on him. From the left sideline, there's an angle as clear as day with him on the ground with the ball. Where in the 17 was the sideline judge at this point?
The fact that this play could not be reviewed was bad enough and I have a good feeling that we'll see a rule change soon to take care of this, but the bigger question to me is how in the world was this missed by the officials in the first place?
