Deshaun Watson and the Houston Texans held on to beat the rival Indianapolis Colts, 20-17, at home Thursday night.
But there was some controversy in the final minutes as it felt like refs somehow didn’t even review what looked like a clear fumble by Watson on a run with 1:48 left.
It looked like the Colts recovered the ball and should have taken over with a chance to at least tie the game with a field goal. There was even a time out called after the play by Houston, which should have given the review officials a second to at least take a look at the play.
But for some reason nobody made a big deal of the fumble and the Texans kept the ball and ran out the clock.
Colts head coach Frank Reich, however, said after the game that the refs told him it was going to be reviewed so apparently somebody in New York didn’t think it was a fumble since nothing was done about it?
It all seems very questionable because this sure looked like a fumble:
NFL refs have been awful this year and this play only adds to their awfulness.
NFL fans couldn’t believe it:
