Donald Chaney Jr. Didn’t Fumble

This is not a justification for the unforgettably moronic decision by Coach Dawson and Coach Cristobal to run the football rather than to take a knee (on all three downs, not just the fateful third down). There is no justification for what happened Saturday night, and Cristobal is rightly admitting as much during his post-game media rounds.

But that said...Don Chaney was down.

Kudos to Samuel Lewis, a veteran sports photographer, for capturing these crystal clear shots of Chaney’s elbow hitting the turf while Chaney’s right hand is in clear possession of the football.
