Re: NFC Championship: Eagles @ Cardinals game discussion (3pm EST / FOX)
Fun game... I think they got the kickoff ruling right, as it certainly looked like the ball hit the Eagles STer's arm as his foot was out of bounds... what I don't get is why wasn't that still an illegal kickoff out of bounds? I remember a game earlier this year, Jets-Bills (in Buffalo), I think, where Leon Washington ran to the sidelines, stepped out of bounds, then stretched like a first baseman to touch the bouncing ball. The ruling was that since it touched Washington while he was out of bounds, by extension, the ball was out of bounds, and thus, an illegal KO out of bounds.
Can anyone shed some light on this one?
