SF did not have access to the bit of film that would have shown the blown call until after—way after the play and next snap. It would have made a difference....Frankly, there was a ref on the other side of the field with direct eye contact of the catch and failed to call it...
But all that is water under the bridge after Purdy’s injury limiting him to just running plays. THe 4th string quarterback—Johnson, looked ill prepared to be in the game and one has to hand it to him for giving it his best despite being literally flattened by the Eagles.
Its Sports Ball—whatever...
But even right away I was yelling at the TV, “Challenge”. It definitely looked to me there at least was a chance the ball at some point touched the ground, even in real time. Given the situation where SF gets the ball at midfield if the call was overturned, it was worth risking the time out.
