Confused By This Play In The Falcons/Saints Game [View all]
Guy muffed a punt, OUTSIDE the endzone. Ball bounced into the EZ, Falcons player ends up with it. Touchdown.
I had always heard a muffed punt can't be advanced. I even looked it up to see if the rule was changed. But, the rule clearly states it can't be advanced.
I get that a guy didn't recover it, then advance, but I would have thought that the recovery would be at the spot of the muff.
How is this not the same as advancing a muff? (Sorry, you will have to click the YouTube link to see it.)
