It's easy, and only takes a few moments.It was running into the kicker (not roughing), so it would have been a five yard penalty and replay fourth down. Generally, hitting the kicking leg is running into and hitting the plant leg is roughing. This was the former.Thought I could find it in here but I guess I need to ask.
Sometime late in the game, LA was forced to punt. A flag was thrown for roughing the kicker but LA declined it? Others in my party were confused as well.
Was this fact, and if so, why did they not take the 15 and 1st down?
Thanks for clearing that up. I get it now. Five yards wasn't enough for the first down and they were obviously happy with the result of the punt.It was running into the kicker (not roughing), so it would have been a five yard penalty and replay fourth down.

I got another. Why did BB challenge the fumble that LA recovered?
I think that’s what Belichick thought, but when I saw the replay I really don’t see that the Pats DB ever had ball at any point.It sounded to me (but I haven't been able to verify in rewatch; all the clips I've seen haven't included sound) that the whistle blew when our DB had the ball, but then it was ripped away by their player. Perhaps BB was betting on fumble + clear recovery prior to the whistle = NE ball, but it didn't work out that way.

Ridiculous.

No change in outcome of play. Chargers ball, both before and after challenge. No change in spot. So challenge failed to change anything.What I don't understand is how we lost a challenge there. On the field they called the player down by contact, the replay showed he fumbled the ball but there was no clear recovery. Fine. But the call on the field was still wrong.
Why exactly was the challenge lost then ?
Blocking the best pass rushers in the game he has kept Brady exceptionally clean in his first year at the position. It will come down to economics, but he has value.This is why I don't think Brown will get a big contract. Look how he was dispersed off the screen?
I would love to see him resigned. At a fair (not inflated) salary.Blocking the best pass rushers in the game he has kept Brady exceptionally clean in his first year at the position. It will come down to economics, but he has value.

Simon was really important pick up after Clayborn failed to grasp NE edge play.
All he does is good job. Clayborn outsnapped him this time but Id guess Simon will have an even bigger role vs Mahomes..
Could we potentially see this happening again on Sunday? I know he did it against Travis Kelce, wondering if this could be in the game plan for tyreek hill?
