(PHOTO: Brad Penner - USA TODAY Sports) Heading into week 6 versus the rival New York Jets, the New England Patriots were seeking to take sole possession of first place in the AFC East for the first time in 2017.
In the first quarter, the Patriots got off to a terrible start as Jets quarterback Josh McCown attacked the secondary early, leading to the first score of the game.

Despite an ugly start, the Patriots clawed their way back to draw even at 14 going into halftime.
As poorly as Patriots have played, it's a 14-14 game at halftime. Not used to seeing these types of mistakes. But team fighting through it.

Needing to regain control of the game, it appeared the Jets were going to cut the deficit to three following a touchdown pass from McCown to Austin Seferian-Jenkins but it was ruled upon review that he fumbled the ball in the end zone resulting in a touchback and the Patriots ball.
Controversy ensued.

According to CBS announcer Ian Eagle, “It was a fumble because he landed out of bounds without complete control of the football.”

Make the call: should this have been a Jets fumble or a Jets touchdown? 🏈
