Fumbling forward and the AFC Championship game??
OK, so I thought that it was now against the rules to fumble forward. But, it seems to happen all they time.

In the AFC Championsion game both the Colts and the Pats fumbled the ball forward and recovered in the end zone. In both cases it was ruled a touchdown.

What gives??

Can anyone shed some light on this for me?

It is not illegal to fumble the ball foward. BUT IT IS ILLEGAL TO DO IT DELEBRITLY. it is all under the consesion of the refs. If i throw the ball foward, then it is a penalty for an illegal foward pass. but if someone hits me and the ball happens to go foward, then its all legal.

Yea, also it's a forward pass if you flip the ball to the ground after catching a pass in the middle of the field and not getting touched. Not a fumble.

You are also a troll if you post on a Raider website to stir things up.
